Portuguese Synagogue

An insight into Jewish history and the Netherlands in the 17th century

From the second half of the 17th century Amsterdam, Jews were permitted to build synagogues that were visible from the street. That decision changed the look and feel of the whole city! Walk the candlelit halls of the Portuguese Synagogue (also called the _Esnoga_), admire the intricate wooden carvings, and feel the sandy floor beneath your feet. Your audio guide will fill you in on the context as you walk.
