A large room with little information, I understand the jews were persecuted so a lot of heritage was destroyed, but tell the story. Save your money.

Beautiful and well preserved synagogue then church. Hand crafted by Muslim artisians. Still an impact to experience.

The Sephardic Museum of Toledo is situated in a beautiful historical building that used to be the El Tránsito synagogue. The wall decorations, the windows, the ceiling and the delicate columns are all remarkable in their own right. Even if you're not particularly visiting for the museum's collection, a walk through the building is essential. It's well preserved and definitely worth the visit.

As a Jew, it pains me very much to see how the once successful jewish community was destroyed as a result of obscurantism. What amazes me even more is the fact that at first everything was taken from my ancestors, including life and honor, and now the same country (different goverment) continues to make money on it without any problem - Never again!
