Discover Toledo's Sephardic Heritage with me. The Golden Age of Judaism took place on the Iberian Peninsula in the medieval period with Toledo being one of the most important cities with Sephardic heritage. Essential sites of Jewish Heritage: The former church of Santa Maria la Blanca which was originally the Main Synagogue. 5 naves and multiple horseshoe arches with elaborate plaster work capitals with pine cone motifs support the building. The Sephardic Museum is housed in the former church of El Tránsito which was originally the 14th century Synagogue of Samuel Ha Levi, treasurer to king Pedro I of Castille. It has beautiful palatial plaster work on the interior walls and an impressive wooden Spanish Ceiling in a Mudejar style. Vaulted medieval brick ceiling underground. Possible Mikvah and crypto synagogue. The Primatial Cathedral with infasis on its Jewish aspects. Inside find out about certain parts of it as it pertains to the Jewish people. I can customize this tour to your request.
- We will start the walking tour from The Cambron Gate, (Also called the Jewish Gate) - From there we will go inside The Main Synagogue. - The Sephardic Museum and Synagogue of Samuel Ha Levi - In the Jewish quarter we can visit a medieval vaulted brick sealing underground which archaeologist suggest may have been a micvah (Jewish ritual bath). Also, archaeologist suggest they may have been used as crypto synagogues. - We will end the tour in The Primatial Cathedral of Holly Mary
