Highlights
  • Alcantara Bridge - Bridge of Roman origin, and a strategic point throughout history, since it was the only entrance to the city from the other side of the river until the late Middle Ages.

  • Mirador del Valle - Spectacular panoramic view of the illuminated World Heritage City. From where you can enjoy one of the most impressive historical centers in the world.

  • San Martin Bridge - Wonderful 14th century medieval bridge, from which you can enjoy a spectacular panoramic view of the city’s main Jewish quarter.

  • Puerta de Alfonso VI - Example of Spanish-Muslim military architecture from the 10th century. Built in the second walled area to protect the suburbs. It was until the 16th century the main entrance to the city. The name it receives is due to the fact that it was through it that the Castilian King from León, Alfonso VI, accompanied by the Cid Campeador, entered on May 6, 1085, to take the city from Islamic hands. Preserve the elements of defense, including a forward keep and a parade ground.

  • Puerta del Sol - Beautiful door in the Mudejar style, the most Toledo of all the doors that the walled network of Toledo preserves. In Islamic times it was access to the medina, although its origin was an albarrana tower attached to the Roman wall. From here we can access the origin of the city through the Bab al Mardom gate and enjoy the Mosque of Cristo de la Luz, built on the Roman road.

  • Alcazar de Toledo - At the highest point of the city, we find the Alcázar of Toledo, it was the seat of the Roman praetor, Visigoth and Arab palace, residence of the Christian kings and King Carlos I of Spain and V of Germany, state prison, refuge of the rebels during the civil war and finally the Army Museum and Library of Castilla-La Mancha.

  • Plaza De Zocodover - Main square and nerve center of the city, its first function was as a market or souk for beasts in the Arab period, although the square with which we find ourselves today is a project of the 16th century, following the model of the Castilian squares.

  • Catedral Primada - The Cathedral of Santa María is the Primate of Spain. The architectural construction begins in 1226 and ends in 1493. Its monumentality is made more impressive, if possible, with its night lighting. Located in the splendid Plaza del Ayuntamiento, in front of the Archbishop’s Palace.

  • Plaza Santo Domingo Real - From the Cathedral we will walk through the medieval urban fabric until we reach the Plaza de San Vicente and Cobertizos de Santa Clara and Santo Domingo. From here we will walk along Aljibes street, where its courtyards preserve the Islamic soul. We arrive at the monumental Plaza de Garcilaso de la Vega, where we will see the Baroque church dedicated to San Ildefonso, patron saint of Toledo, the Renaissance portal of the convent of San Pedro Mártir, the church and Mudejar tower of San Román and the immense convent of San Clemente , with its plateresque façade, a whole journey through the architectural styles of art history. We are located on the border of the Jewish quarter, Alacaba neighborhood.

  • Jewish Quarter - The Jewish quarter of Toledo, the most influential in Sepharad, (the Hebrew name for the Iberian Peninsula), once housed 10 synagogues and five schools of Rabbinical Studies. Picturesque neighborhood that preserves all the flavor of the old Madina Al yajud (city of the Jews). We will visit the Well of the Savior (underground cistern) and the Virgen de Gracia viewpoint, with the impressive view of the Greater Jewish Quarter, dome of the Church of San Juan de los Reyes and cigarrales.

  • Puerta de Cambron - The Puerta del Cambrón, one of the oldest in the walled enclosure, was known until the 15th century as the Puerta de los Judíos. Its last reform was carried out in the 16th century, in the Renaissance style, a time when it worked to collect the door from merchants who entered the city through it.
