Travessa do Judeu is a historic street located between Bairro Alto and Bica, on the western slope of Lisbon. Its toponym preserves the memory of a Jewish presence in this area, outside the main medieval Judiarias of Alfama and the Baixa, reflecting a more dispersed pattern of Jewish settlement within the city.

During the late Middle Ages, this zone functioned as a corridor linking the upper city to the riverfront, associated with commerce, crafts, and circulation. The existence of a street bearing the name “Judeu” indicates Jewish residence or property in the area, documented elsewhere in Lisbon through records of Jews living beyond formally enclosed Jewish quarters.

Following the expulsion of the Jews from Portugal in 1496 and the subsequent forced conversions, the area was fully absorbed into the Christian urban fabric. No identifiable Jewish architectural elements survive today, but the street name remains as a rare and meaningful trace of Jewish presence in western Lisbon, preserving memory through urban toponymy rather than monumental remains.
