Alcazar Castle (Alcazar's)

Toledo is the most famous building in Toledo, located at the highest point in Toledo. Its exterior wall is Renaissance style, which is the most prominent building in the ancient city. The Castilla-La Mancha Library on the top floor overlooks the city. This magnificent castle was a defense project in13rd century, and was converted into a palace in16th century. This palace was built by King Philip II (Felipe

II) Decided to move the capital to Madrid. This castle, originally planned as the Spanish Imperial Palace, has also been used for other purposes, such as royal prisons, military camps, silk workshops and so on. Now the castle has become a military museum. At the bottom of the museum, you can also see that the original castle has become a brick wall in the broken walls.

Toledo Cathedral (Toledo

Catheral) is a church that still retains the medieval style. It is the second cathedral in Spain. At the beginning of its construction, it was the first cathedral in the Christian parish of Spain at that time. Toledo Cathedral is the residence of cardinals, Italians and Spanish bishops. The construction of the church began in 1247, adopting the French Gothic architectural form rarely used by Spanish churches at that time, and absorbing some other local characteristic arts such as Mudhar according to local conditions. Completed in 1493, the unique Spanish Gothic art style is fully reflected in the church building. The bell tower on the left side of the main entrance of the church is 90 meters high, and a clock weighing 17.5 tons is hung on it. The main hall is112m long, 56m wide and 45m high, supported by 88 large stone pillars. The main hall and the surrounding 22 small ancestral halls are the most decorated parts in the whole building complex, among which five groups of colored pine carvings reflecting the life of Jesus on the altar of the main church are even more wonderful! In addition, the poetry singing room is also a highlight of the church. The concert hall is located in the center of the hall. The two rows of seats in the choir are the treasures of Spanish woodcarving art, the upper row is Renaissance and Pop style, and the lower row is Gothic style. These two styles are in perfect harmony. The statue of a saint is engraved above the upper seat, while the sculpture above the lower seat shows the historical scene of recovering Granada in the War of Recovery.

It is located near the station of Debel Square.

Zocodover) is full of vitality, and the surrounding buildings are full of rich Arabic customs. The coffee shop here enjoys the beautiful scenery around you, so you can sit down and have a cup of coffee and feel the leisurely life of the local people. But in my opinion, the style of this square is very similar to the mayor's square all over the world. After checking, there is also a map that says it is the mayor's square.

The Toledo Castle Hotel claims that every room has a view of the old town of Toledo. There is no reservation on Ctrip, and it can't be found on Agoda. I can't find the dog map now, and I can't tell its exact name.

Toledo is relatively high in the east, and the alcantara Bridge is located on the tahoe River. At both ends of the bridge are the vicissitudes of the tower, and the unique scenery of Toledo can be photographed on the bridge. The other end of the bridge is a hillside, and the top of the bridge is the castle of San Cervantedo. Now it is abandoned fortifications and unattended small gardens, which are quite desolate and beautiful. It is also a good place to enjoy the beautiful sunset in Toledo.

Royal Monastery of San Juan (Church)

The Royal Monastery of San Juan Deloose Reyes is located in the center of Toledo Jewish quarter. This is a Catholic Franciscan monastery with a long history. It was established by Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile in 1476 as the last residence. Toledo was chosen to be built because it is located in the geographical center of Spain and the old capital of Visigoth Kingdom. But after 1492 conquered Granada, the king and queen changed their original plans and chose to be buried in Granada. However, the monastery project is nearing completion, so it has been preserved.

The tahoe River and the San Martin Bridge, located on the edge of the ancient city of Toledo, are medieval bridges across the tahoe River in Toledo. This bridge was built by the master Pedro tenorio in the late 4th century A.D./KLOC-to connect the old city and the west of the city. There is a water tower on each side of the bridge, and there are five arches on the bridge, the largest of which is 40 meters high. Even today, few bridges can surpass this record.

Valley Observatory (Mirrado Del

Valle) is an observation deck located high in the suburb of Toledo. From here, you can see the scenery of the whole ancient city of Toledo, where many cultural and historical sites are integrated. Those churches, castles, ancient bridges, etc. Infinitely magnified, it looks really shocking. It is beautiful and magnificent. The United Nations World Cultural Heritage has indeed not been in vain. Visitors who leave the ancient city of Toledo will stay here to watch and take photos. Although the scenery in one place is similar, everyone keeps shooting.

The urban landscape of Toledo. By the way, the only ticket we got to go on road trip was in the ancient city of Toledo. After we entered the ancient city of Toledo, we couldn't find a parking lot, so we found a vacancy in the blue line area on the roadside, but there was no parking machine nearby, so we ignored it and turned around the city. When I came back from my trip to pick up my car, I found a small note on the windshield: parking illegally, fined 60 euros!

Note: In Spain, parking spaces marked with white lines can be parked free of charge for unlimited time, but it is difficult to find vacant spaces. Parking spaces in the Blue Line area are charged, usually per hour 1 to 2 euros. There are parking lots, such as Madrid and Barcelona. The parking fee for one night is about 30 to 40 euros, and some parking lots can offer a discount of about 10 euros, with hotel vouchers. Parking lots in small cities are generally 10 to 20 euros a night.
