Escadas da Vitória
Roads and squares
Located in the Vitória area, by the Church of Vitória, until very recently this staircase was known as “Escadas da Esnoga”, directly referring to the synagogue of the Olival Jewish Quarter (New Jewish quarter). This Jewish quarter was created with the king D. João I (fourteenth century), and was settled on Rua de S. Miguel where one can now find the building with nº 9. The stairway gave direct access to the Jewish temple, departing from Largo de São Domingos.
