Medieval Jewish quarter of Salzedas

Located in central north Portugal, 360 km from Lisbon, the village of Salzedas hides a well kept secret,  a medieval Jewish quarter about to crumble in ruins.
The neighborhood worked in a ghetto, the homes communicating with each other. You can circulate through 40 homes in closed circuit without coming down to the streets.
