Three cultures of Alcalá de Henares

Did you know that in the Middle Ages, Alcalá was home to three cultures: Christianity, Islam, and Judaism?  For much of this time, the three cultures coexisted peacefully.

Do you know where these signs are in our city?

Here you can read about the neighborhoods (in Spanish):

La alijama (Jewish quarters)

La morería (Muslim neighborhood)

The Christian city

This is from the webpage of the City Hall. You can find more information there about the history of Alcalá during the Middle Ages!
