Top 10 Historic Sites in Toledo, Castile-La Mancha
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.

Perhaps my favorite single structure in the city, competing with the other gates and bridges associated with the concentric walls and the cobblestone roads of the old city. Well light every night and situated as a lookout toward the North of the city with a view of the Tagus river and the humble city sector formerly know for pottery and the city access to the Tagus river bed.

There is so much to see and appreciate in this building. Having failed to recognise how much was there in advance, we were rushing around by the end as it closes at 5pm (on a Friday). The highlights for me were the ruins of the Moorish Alcazar, expertly preserved and featured in the central open space part of the building and the Spanish civil war section which really evokes the hardship and futility of war. In between those periods of history there are a wealth of treasures and informative displays with uniforms, weapons, logistics equipment etc etc to observe. I learned so much from this visit that I am now re-inspired to read my history of Spain book that has been waiting for my attention this last year!

It can be a little hard to find, but the Cuevas de Hercules is worth the effort. Despite the misleading legend of the name, this is a stunning glimpse into the majestic engineering skill and water management science of the Roman Empire, preserved below the streets of Toledo. The massive granite blocks that form an underground cistern do indeed rival the grandeur of Hellenistic temples, combining artistic form with practical function.

A military museum, formally a palace right next to the main Plaza of Toledo, The Plaza Zocodover. The building itself is a museum.
