10 Points of Interest & Landmarks in Toledo That You Shouldn't Miss
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.

Impressive gold religious icon used once a year in a parade. It is ornate to the extreme and a wonderful example of the craftsmen of the period.

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.

The gate is the entryway to the old town of Toledo. On a regular day, it would a regular entrance archway, no doubt historically significant. We visited closer to christmas and hence the decor around the gate, made it beautiful. Was worth the visit. Also very close to the tourist centre and a good spot to catch the bus to Mirador del valle viewpoint.

The City Walls of Toledo may not be as grand as those of Avila but, I guess, that is a subjective notion. The first walls were constructed by the Romans, some remnants still exist. The Visigoths rebuilt the walls from the ruins of the old Roman and also tripled the size. The Arabs further enlarged the walls when in power and after the Christian reconquest, they were further enlarged and new gates added. See the Puerta de Bisagra Nueva dating to 1559, Puerta del Cambrón dating to 1576 and Puerta del Sol. Fascinating.

I absolutely loved Toledo and the view of it from across the river. Take the time to cross the river, climb up a ways and look at the panoramic view of the city. It is gorgeous.

The Jewish quarter of Toledo retains some of its original character and much of its architecture, some of which is of surprising beauty. Look for the historical markings and visit the gorgeous synagogue of Santa Maria la Blanca.
