The first room brings us into the surroundings which greeted Emperor Charles whenever he journeyed to our region:"Castilla y Le≤n, a border region". The three nations.

The world of ideas, the art and the spirituality of Castilla y Le≤n are characterised by the centuries-old coexistence -either peacefully or in enmity- of the three monotheistic religions:

Christianity, Judaism and Islam.

On an artistic level this society produced a remarkable type of art: the mudΘjar. In this art form two theologies and two aesthetic forms blend into one -churches with the roof of a mosque- and the exhibition aims to remind us of this blend.
