33 Rua do Carmo, Funchal
By Seeker
33 Rua do Carmo is a historical building in Funchal, Madeira, Portugal, likely constructed in 1836 in the Moorish Revival style as the Sha'ar Hashamayim Synagogue. This site reflects the rich Jewish heritage of the island, which began with the arrival of Moroccan Jews in 1819. The building served as a synagogue for a community that grew significantly during the 19th and 20th centuries, particularly due to the influx of refugees during the World Wars. Nearby, the Jewish Cemetery of Funchal, established in 1851, serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of the Jewish community in Madeira.
