Toledo

Yesterday, we have been visiting Toledo at southern of Madrid. I recognize I love medieval cities, Toledo is an important medieval city where you can see a lot monuments and old buildings. It is an important factory of medieval weapons and armours.
Plus, you can see a great Cathedral, a mosque and a synagogue, and the whole old city is walled with a medieval wall as a castle, of course.
The most curious characteristic of this city and others in Spain is in seeing a mixture of cultures in its architecture. It shows a coexistence among Christians, Jewish and Arabs peacefully. In spite of some try to demonstrate that they are destined to live in war.
In the photo, you can see a important synagogue decorated with arabic arches that finally was become in Christian church. I could see an olive tree dedicated to Palestina too. Finally the Asian presence was an evidence with a lot of Chinese tourist. :)
