Santa María La Blanca, Toledo, Spain, 1981

"In 1411, during the dark chapters of repression, the city's oldest synagogue was converted into the church of Santa María la Blanca. Muslims, Jews, and Christians had coexisted for 700 years until intolerance flamed; unconverted Jews were expelled from Spain in 1492."

—From "Toledo—El Greco's Spain Lives On," June 1982, National Geographic magazine
