The Sephardic Museum was created in 1964, and is located in the most important Hispano-Jewish building in Spain: the Synagogue of Samuel ha-Leví or Synagogue of Transit, located in the old Jewish quarter of Toledo and considered the most beautiful and best preserved medieval synagogue in the world. . The showpiece of the museum's collection is the venue itself: the Synagogue.

An incredibly rich museum in a large old synagogue that was also used as a church for a while. Hence the name El Transito. Beautiful!
With audio guide in English and descriptions in German you can learn a lot about Jewish history and religion.
