According to Spanish News Today web site,
Experts are now confident that the building is closer to its original condition and confirm that it is better illuminated than prior to the work just completed. This follows the removal of approximately 5,000 nails which previously supported the silk wall decorations, which were taken down late last year.
The work was carried out by the Institute of Cultural Heritage of Spain. In a news release, the Museum detailed the process of taking down the hangings and cleaning, treating and plastering the walls and installing new lighting.
The Transito synagogue was declared a national monument in 1877. A record number of about 375,000 people visited in museum in 2014.

Now that the building was restored close to its original condition, it would be lovely that
they “restore” its name. Tránsito is a Catholic term (refers to the death of Virgin Mary), part of the church name it used to have.
It is an oxymoron to call it Sinagoga del Tránsito!
