Suc­ces­sive­ly a Roman municip­i­um, the cap­i­tal of the Visig­oth­ic King­dom, a fortress of the Emi­rate of Cor­do­ba, an out­post of the Chris­t­ian king­doms fight­ing the Moors and, in the 16th cen­tu­ry, the tem­po­rary seat of supreme pow­er under Charles V, Tole­do is the repos­i­to­ry of more than 2,000 years of his­to­ry. Its mas­ter­pieces are the prod­uct of het­ero­ge­neous civ­i­liza­tions in an envi­ron­ment where the exis­tence of three major reli­gions — Judaism, Chris­tian­i­ty and Islam — was a major fac­tor.
