Soon after 1492, the (so-called) Transito synagogue became the San Benito priory chapel of the Calatrava Order and then archive of the Orders of Calatrava and Alcantara. Despite its artistic value, the history and fate of this monument, especially during the early Modern Period is far from being known. Based on documentary evidence from the San Fernando Royal Academy of Fine Arts and the Military Orders Section of the National Historical Archives, the author delineates the process of maintenance and restoration of the monument.
