You can either visit the synagogue on your way up to view the castle, or on your way back down to the town. The museum is on 2 floors, the ground floor and a basement floor. The basement floor was unlit and I had to use the torch on my phone to explore it. All of the information for exhibits was in Portuguese, so non speakers of the language might find this frustrating.

Well worth a visit. Fascinating insight into the Jewish community in Castelo de Vide and a moving memorial to their persecution by the inquistion. We committed the appalling crime of going back to see a couple of the rooms again and found ourselves back at the reception. The woman on the reception couldn't have been more rude and was clearly not happy that my girlfriend doesn't speak Portuguese. Recommended. Free entry.

one of the highlights of the visit to the jewish quarter of Castelo de Vide, the museum is very well kept and shows how the site served many other purposes than the religious one, it meant it was part of the center of jewish life in town

This building is now a museum. Although it is an interesting place to visit only if you have an interpreter with you. Everything is in Portuguese.

one of those small places that seems like it was done because it needed to be done for some other reason than having a museum. some pieces are nice, some are not, lot's of papers with stuff written. they are really not sure if it was ever really a synagogue.
