Jewish quarter of Toledo
The Jewish quarter of Toledo is a district of the city of Toledo, in Castile-La Mancha, Spain. It was the neighborhood in which Jews were known to live in during the Middle Ages, though they were not mandated to live in it. In the 12th and 13th centuries, the Jewish community of Toledo became the most populous and wealthy of the Kingdom of Castile. The Jewish community of Toledo coexisted peacefully for centuries with Muslims and Christians, giving the city the nickname “The City of the Three Cultures” (Spanish: La Ciudad de las Tres Culturas). . This arrengement remained from the Siege of Toledo and continued until the majority were either expelled or forced to convert to Christianity by King Ferdinand II of Aragón and the Spanish Inquisition in 1492, via the Alhambra Decree.
