Toledo, Spain, has been dubbed “the city of the three cultures.” That’s because after the Islamic invasion tolerant overlords allowed the co-existence of Jewish and Christian neighborhoods. In the historic Jewish quarter, visit the well-preserved Synagogue of El Tránsito, where you’ll find one of the most striking examples of Spanish-Jewish art in existence. At Paseo de la Virgen de Gracia, you’ll come to the area of Toledo’s convents. A peaceful stroll yields convents of San Antonio, San Clemente and Agustinas Calzadas, to name a few. Keep walking until you find Bisagra Gate, a monumental stone gate flanked by two circular towers. Of Arab origin, it was rebuilt in the Renaissance style in the 16th century.
