Synagogues, mosques and churches stand together in Toledo's historic quarter, a testament to the medieval Spanish city's diverse history. The four towers of The Alcazar, a fortress built in 1085, dominate the skyline. Toledo and its surrounding countryside inspired El Greco, and his paintings are on display in many places around the city, including the museum that bears his name.

One of the most imposing cathedrals in Spain, and a superb example of Gothic architecture.
This may have been the most mind-blowing edifice I have ever been in. We stepped through the front entrance and were immediately overwhelmed with awe (even though this was the list day of several days of awe inspiring sites), and then we realized that all we were seeing was still only seeing one portion of all it entailed. The audio tour was very interesting, just the right amount of detail.

A nice church on the inside, with affordable entry fee. What this little gem secretly has to offer though, is arguably the best view of Toledo on it's roof. Walk up the stairs, burn off that bocadillo, and get the best photos in the city! Staff were very friendly, and photography was permitted throughout.

Not as ornate as others but still an impressive structure with a lovely cloister area. Art works and carvings are very impressive. Saw as part of a tour and guide was excellent. Built for Queen Isabella and the King as a place they wanted to be buried but the Royal family on their deaths won't allow them to be buried there.

A former synagogue was built in the late 12th century. Later it became a Christian Church.

One of the most beatiful places to visit in Toleda, with a small garden, is a perfect place for a short rest after visiting the buzzing city center
