The city of 3 cultures!

#traveldiaries Christians, Muslims and Jews. Followers of the three religions lived side by side for centuries and left their mark in Toledo. It is one of Spain’s most interesting and intriguing cities, where you can see a Gothic cathedral, a 10th century mosque and two synagogues in the space of just a few metres. It was once an Imperial City, and its beauty was depicted in the paintings of El Greco. Visitors to the city should be sure to see its views, visit the Alcázar, walk around its winding streets, or see a sunset from the Alcántara or San Martín bridges. Less than 80 kilometres from Madrid, it’s worth spending more than a day to see the city lit up at night and explore it in more depth. Must visit attractions: 📍El Alcazar Perched on one of the highest points in Toledo, El Alcazar overlooks the city. 📍Mezquita Cristo de la Luz Toledo’s old mosque. 📍Plaza Zocodover A large open plaza that connects many of the main sites in Toledo. 📍Catedral Primada Main cathedral of Toledo. 📍Monasterio de San Juan de Los Reyes Monastery in the heart of Toledo’s Jewish Quarter. 📍The El Greco Museum Dedicated to late renaissance art painted by the famous El Greco. 📍Puente de Alcantata Toledo’s most beautiful bridge. Crossing the Tajo river, the old Roman bridge used to be the only entry to the city for pilgrims.
