Such a beautiful and historic city! Well worth a visit!

1. Weekend away in Toledo!
‘You’ve not seen Spain until
you’ve seen Toledo.’ – old
Spanish saying

2. The Gothic Cathedral
Crowned by a 100 metre
tall spire!
The golden gates of its choir were
blackened by iron to disguise their
value from Napoleonic troops
during their occupation

3. The Alcázar of Toledo
Home of the Castilian kings until
Philip II built the Escorial in 1563
Besieged by the Republicans
during the Spanish Civil War
and is now an army museum

4. Santa María la Blanca
Built as a synagogue in the 12th Century
By Moorish craftsmen – they were the
only artisans in Toledo
It contains 28 beautifully carved
pillars that support a succession
of horseshoe shaped arches.

5. Great views of Toledo
For great views of the city, there are a number of viewpoints from
the ring road. The views across the gorge are absolutely stunning!
