The cemetery at the Faro Jewish Heritage Museum constitutes the first evidence of Jewish presence in the region after the Portuguese Inquisition. Currently, it features 76 beautifully-carved headstones in marble and its own museum, as well as the recreation of a synagogue (wedding included!).

It’s located in the north of Faro, close to the Hospital.

Over-the-phone reservations are advised before visiting the museum.
