Welcome to Toledo
Toledo is a city and municipality of Spain. Toledo is famous for being a “city of three cultures”. It is scarcely 70 kilometres from Madrid and connected by high-speed train in a journey of around half an hour. Its historic quarter –a UNESCO World Heritage Site– still preserves its original medieval layout, making it a fascinating place to visit. On a tour through its narrow, winding streets you will discover a series of incredible buildings, still very much alive both inside and out.
The history of Toledo dates back to Roman occupation (Toletum) circa 192BC. The ruins of the Roman circus are still visible just outside the walls of the city. Roman occupation was followed by Visigoth rule, Muslim rule and finally the Reconquest of Toledo in 1085AD. Toledo was the capital of the Spanish empire until the mid-1500s when the royal court moved to Madrid. The winding, cobbled streets of the old town are often crowded with locals and tourists, as well as a surprisingly large number of cars and vans. Don’t miss the 13th century cathedral or the Alcázar which sits atop the town and dates back to Roman times.
You get a better view of the ancient city as you enjoy local meals in one of the hotels across at the banks of Tagus River.
