Toledo was welcoming to all. There were prehistoric people who left their art effects during 4000 BC and before and then there were Jews, then came Muslims and everyone lived in harmony, everyone practiced their craft and the town flourished. They built Mosques, synagogs and cathedrals. They built walls around the city to protect themselves from others. They encouraged art, science and innovations and the town flourished.
But the others came, destroyed the Mosques, drove the Jews and Muslims out and built beautiful cathedrals and churches where the others once worshipped and tried to lived happily ever after. But the wars came and the Toledo was greatly affected, turning into ruins.
But, then the tourists came back and everyone is living happily again, The end....
