    Interesting synagogue. I wish I could learn more about it's history and the lovely street it's on, but the interpretation center is good for some context. The woman who works at the desk is very friendly and helpful

    This synagogue is a place of much historical significance. There's an exhibit of some Jewish tombstones from around the country as well.

    Historic site, although lacks a bit of context and information in English. At the time of the visit, it was quite busy with a tour and scouts

    Tucked away in a back street of Tomar but we'll worth a visit. It's recently been renovated and we were lucky enough to be invited to a concert there.

    Def small but in the city of Templars it is special. All pieces but one had placards in English and the person working there was as excited to teach me more about the history as I was to learn, so of course they translated the last piece

    A shame there's very little information available, apart from leaflets that have been translated into English by Google translate.

    Be advised. Parking is IMPOSSIBLE. Tiny, narrow medieval street. Park somewhere + walk in.
