The coexistence of Jews, Christians, and Muslims has a long tradition in Europe and the Mediterranean. In this multi-religious landscape, people have always shared certain sacred places.
The papers presented at this conference shed new light on the actors and practices related to multi-religious places and spaces. They highlight diff erent degrees of interaction, regulation, and conflict from Late Antiquity to present times.

The conference takes place within the IEG focus topic 2016/17 »Europe from the Margins«.
