El Transito Synagogue and Sephardic Museum
Calle Samuel Levi S/N, Toledo, Spain, 45002El Tránsito Synagogue, also known as the Synagogue of Samuel Leví, was built after the King Peter I’s treasurer ordered its construction in 1355. Although the building of new synagogues was not allowed at that time, approving its construction was King Peter I’s way of thanking the Jewish community for supporting him in the war against his brother Enrique de Trastámara. Inside the synagogue, we can admire the incredible prayer room decorated with rich plasterwork and the National Museum of Sephardic Culture.30 minutes • Admission Ticket IncludedView Location4
Synagogue of Saint Mary the White
Calle Reyes Catolicos 4, , Toledo, Spain, 45002The Synagogue of Santa María la Blanca, was one of the eleven synagogues that stood in Toledo until the end of the fourteenth century. This is one of the oldest in Europe and was built at the end of the twelfth century or beginning of the thirteenth century in Mudejar style.
