The city of Toledo, declared by UNESCO as a National Heritage Site in 1986, is situated on a rocky hill rise and surrounded by the river Tajo. It is in the heart of Spain just 70 km away from the capital Madrid.
Although considered by many as a second Rome, Toledo is however completely unique; unique in its history, culture, charm and subtleties. The influence of the three major religions: Islam, Judaism and Christianity on, in the words of Cervantes, this “cradle of civilizations” encircled by the river Tajo, is witness to the mark they left on towns throughout the Iberian Peninsula.
Throughout the centuries, the capital of Castilla La Mancha has conserved its unparalleled architectural, artistic and ancient urban heritage. The Churches, Synagogues, Mosques, Convents, ramparts, bridges, towers, and the huge range of cultural and artistic hybrids found in the forms of the buildings make Toledo an extraordinary museum with much to discover.
In order to fully experience all the intricacies of the city, lose yourself in the maze of narrow streets, squares, gardens and climb the steep slopes and look out over the monuments rising on the horizon. Toledo´s many monuments are surrounded by unforgettable nooks and crannies, and open spaces that will stir any visitor and all those lucky enough to live within them.
