The Jewish Quarter of Toledo is an important place regarding Sephardic culture in the Iberian Peninsula. My visit will include the following: - Synagogue "El Tránsito" or "Samuel Leví": This synagogue was built in the 14th century. The name Samuel ha-Levi corresponds to the treasurer of King Pedro I of Castille. The synagogue shows one of the most beautiful examples of Mudéjar style in Hispanic-Jewish legacy. The beauty of the wooden roof is one of the special details that highlights this building (closed on Mondays); - Synagogue of Santa María la Blanca, formerly the main synagogue in Toledo until it was converted into a church at the end of the 14th century; - Franciscan Monastery of San Juan de los Reyes: An essential visit to understand the connection between the Catholic Monarchs (the monastery was created as their burial site), and the last moments experienced by the Jewish community in Spain before their expulsion.
- We can meet at the train station (if you are coming by train from Madrid: 20 euros go and return) or at Bisagra Gate if coming by private car. - We will take a taxi and go to enjoy the panoramic view of the city from the other side of the river Tagus where we will stop and take pictures (the taxi will cost approximately 15 euros. 4 persons per taxi. Taxi is not included in the price); - Then, we will visit the two stunning synagogues of the town ("Saint Mary the White" and "El Tránsito"). We will go inside. - We will also visit the Franciscan Monastery of Saint John of the Monarchs or the cathedral, depending on your preferences; (Tickets for monuments are not included in the price). - We will go around the Jewish quarter, enjoying the narrow streets and the Jewish culture. *The itinerary can be adapted to traveller's interests: do no hesitate to contact me for a customized tour.
