Toledo 22/03/2016

Today I visited Toledo, a medieval city near Madrid. We  got there by car with some friends and walked around the  city center. The most known building from Toledo is the Alcazar. It started as a roman palace , then resused as a fort by the Visigoths and it had constants changes during the centuries. Now it's a militar museum. Even though it represented a lot in the history I didn't find the building anything special.

On the other hand the Toledo cathedral,  Santa María de Toledo was much beatiful. We walked around it as there was a huge queue to get inside and was expensive. From the outside, as it can be seen, it's huge and imposing. It took a while to build it, from 1226 till 1493 where some gothic addings where done.

After visiting the cathedral we wanderad alongside the wall. It was enormous and covered all the perimeter of the city center. The walls date from different centuries depending when they where contructed or reconstructed but early ones date back from 5th century.
