“The 'City of Three Cultures' is a labyrinth of Sephardic synagogues; Visigothic lintels; and Mudéjar brickwork enclosed by 3rd-century Roman walls; the 13th-century High Gothic cathedral sits at the highest point; walk the Calle del Comercio at sunset when the shops displaying hand-hammered Damascene steel begin to shutter; the sound of the Tagus River rushing through the gorge below provides a distant roar.”
