"In 1497, Jews represented one-fifth of Portugal's total population of one million, 80,000 Jews. 120,000 Jews expelled from Spain arrived in 1492. In 1497, almost all Jews in Portugal suffered the Inquisition so that official Judaism ceased to exist in Portugal. All Jewish extant cemeteries of the time were destroyed. Sefardim from Gibraltar and Morocco came to Portugal at the beginning of the nineteenth century with Ashkenazim arriving around 1910. By 1994, the 250 members of Lisbon Jewish community were both Sephardim and Ashkenazim. Oporto had a small community of about ten persons in 1984." Source: Freedman, Warren.
