Toledo

Toledo is one of Spain’s most important historic cities and is widely known as the “City of the Three Cultures”. Perched on a hill above a bend of the Tagus River, the former capital of Spain is renowned for its remarkably well-preserved medieval old town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Magnificent churches, the imposing cathedral, historic synagogues, Moorish city gates, and Mudéjar architecture reflect centuries of Christian, Jewish, and Muslim influence. As the home of the painter El Greco and a major center of Spanish history and art, Toledo combines outstanding cultural heritage, impressive architecture, and a unique atmosphere. Just a short train ride from Madrid, it is one of Spain’s most captivating destinations.
