Toledo Sephardic Museum

Known as one of the most beautiful historical sites in Spain, the Toledo Sephardic Museum (Museo Sefardi) is a national museum dedicated to the city's Jewish population's history, culture, and legacy.

The Toledo Sephardic Museum covers the long Jewish history of Spain, from Roman times through the 15th-century Jewish exodus. The Toledo Sephardic Museum is housed in a building that was originally constructed as a synagogue in the 14th century.

Peter of Castile may have authorized the synagogue to be built as a token of his gratitude for Samuel's ha-service Levi as a royal councilor and treasurer. He may have approved the synagogue as a form of restitution for the annihilation of the Jewish population in 1348 during the Black Death's anti-Jewish pogroms.
