Toledo perches on a hill above the Tagus River, just South of Madrid. Known as the City of Three Cultures, Jews and Muslims coexisted peacefully alongside Christians in this ancient walled city for centuries until they were expelled in the 15th century. Visitors to this UNESCO World Heritage site today can explore the monumentsalong the cobbled streets of its historic center, including the El Transito Synagogue (now home to the Museo Sefardi), the Cristo de la Luz Mosque, the Gothic cathedral and the Alcazar fortress.
