Ornate stucco décor glazes the walls of the historic Synagogue of El Tránsito, which dates back to the 14th century. It contains a fascinating museum that explains the history and traditions of the Sephardi Jews, who originated from the Iberian Peninsula. Admire the Mudéjar design of the glorious interior, as you make your way around the old synagogue. Once inside, gaze up at the elaborate pine ceiling in the restored central prayer hall. View the exhibits to learn about the Jewish people’s place in Spanish history and culture. Costumes and religious relics provide a window into the ceremonial customs. Notice Hebrew inscriptions praising both the king and the founder of the temple. See the second-floor gallery where women were segregated during religious services. Inspect some of the intriguing archaeological vestiges and appreciate the serenity in the scenic memorial garden. Once the Jews were expelled from Spain in the late 15th century, the building was put to use as a priory and then a military barracks during the Napoleonic Wars. Go for a walk around what was formerly considered Jewish Quarter to see some of the other former synagogues here. Note that the museum is open to the public Tuesday through Sunday from morning until late afternoon. Pay a fee to enter and get discounts for kids. Museum entry is free on Saturday afternoons and all day on Sundays. The Synagogue of El Tránsito is in the former Jewish Quarter in the southwestern corner of the historic center of Toledo. Ride a bus to one of the many stops near the Tagus River or walk here in just a few minutes from the Campus de Toledo. See some of the nearby sights, such as the Casa del Judío, the Victorio Macho Museum of modern art and the Synagogue of Santa María la Blanca. ## Plan a trip to see Synagogue of El Transito Price found within the past 48 hours.
