Frequently asked questions

What is The Ornament of the World about? Toggle content

In medieval Spain, a rare and fruitful collaboration between Muslims, Christians, and Jews led to the creation of remarkable works of art, literature, architecture, and music. For 800 years, these three religions coexisted in a manner that transcended their religious differences, creating a common cultural identity. This documentary explores what made this collaboration possible and what ultimately tore it apart, offering a powerful reminder of the potential for peaceful coexistence in a world frequently marked by religious conflict.
