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.

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.

A must visit while in Madrid area. Toledo is nice but the synagogue is exiting. the history involved, the detailed authentic exhibition of Jewish crafts is amazing . take a guided tour, recomended

A 1300s restored synagog. I would recommend purchasing a €12 wrist band that gives you entry to the 7 biggest sights in Toledo as it includes this location.

Small museum, but nice and well preserved building. Pretty little information in English, therefore even more in Spanish. Worth a look!

A beautiful place ! We came too late, so everything was closed around us. But it's still a beautiful place to have a day trip. A lot to see,and an amazing view from the terrace.
