What to do and see in Toledo, Castile-La Mancha: The Best Things to do Good for Kids
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.

Beautiful city, definitely worth a day trip from Madrid, the train was only half an hour. Everything is so well preserved and really clean, it was like an authentic theme park, if that makes sense, in that you are completely transported to a different world. Lots of narrow winding streets and beautiful buildings, absolutely stunning.

This building is amazing and well worth spending a little extra time while waiting for your train to have a good look at it. The floor and wall tiles are exquisite and the ticket counters and even the ceiling. The outside is also very "Toledo". The small restaurant was not bad either.

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.

Toledo’s San Juan de los Reyes monastery is beautiful and rich in history. Built in the Isabelline style (a transition between late Gothic and early Renaissance architecture, with decorative influences of Castilian, Flemish, and Mudéjar styles), the church has a long nave with side chapels. The interior is decorated with the coats of arms of the Catholic Monarchs. The beautiful cloister has a lovely garden. Make sure you walk around the small square on the northern side of the monastery to get a good view of the manacles and shackles hanging from the granite walls, as ordered by Queen Isabella in 1494, which had been worn by Christian prisoners held by the Moors in Granada. The monastery is said to have been founded by King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella in the late 15th century to commemorate the birth of their son and their victory at the Battle of Toro. Construction began in 1477 and was completed in 1504. At first, the Catholic Monarchs intended to house their mausoleum at the monastery, but later chose Granada as their resting place, after its reconquest in 1492.

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.
