The Synagogue of El Tránsito (Spanish: Sinagoga del Tránsito) is a historic synagogue and Sephardic museum in Toledo, Spain. In 1357, it was built as an annex of the palace of Samuel Halevi Abulafia, Pierre de Castille's treasurer, and is known for its rich stucco decoration, Mudejar style, and its women's gallery.

History of changes
After the expulsion of the city's Jews under the Alhambra decree in 1492, the Synagogue came under the Order of Calatrava, who converted the building into a church serving a priory dedicated to Saint Benedict. In the 17th century the church's name changed to Nuestra Señora del Tránsito: the name derives from a painting by Juan Correa de Vivar housed there, Transit of the Virgin.

The synagogue was also used as military headquarters during the Napoleonic Wars.

In 1877 the building became a national monument. The transformation of the building into the Sephardi Museum, as it is now officially called, started around 1910. It was initiated by the Vega-Inclan Foundation.

Restorations

Subsequent to its conversion to a Catholic church and its use as military barracks the building underwent several periods of restoration. The first phase began in 1879 with the cleaning and repairing of the hejal (Torah ark), the restoration of at least fourteen lattices, and the removal of various Hebrew inscriptions. In 1884, Arturo Mélida y Alinari replaced Francisco Isidori as the head architect of the project, focusing mainly on the roof, façade, and reinforcements. The building fell back into disrepair before it became part of the Casa Museo del Greco in 1911, when a new large-scale phase of restorations began. Scaffolding that had been put up in previous decades were removed, along with  partitions from the Women's gallery. The wooden church choir and portions of the interior were restored. The addition of a library to the lower part of the gallery, which has since become an important center for Hebrew studies, entailed the demolition of large portions of the façade.
