Visit this synagogue which was built in 1366 by Samuel Ha-Leví, the Jewish treasurer of Peter the Cruel
The city's most extraordinary Mudejar interior decoration is hidden behind the walls of this ancient synagogue. The Tránsito synagogue was built in 1366 by Samuel Ha-Leví, the Jewish treasurer of Peter the Cruel. After the expulsion of the Jews in 1492, it was donated to the Order of Calatrava, who transformed it into a church. It was then named Nuestra Señora del Tránsito (Our Lady of Dormition). The prayer room is finely decorated with Hebrew, Islamic and Gothic geometric motifs, and next door is the Sephardic Museum.
