Beautiful Toledo With Vacation
Head to the Plaza de Zocodover and enter the Alcazar off During your tour of Toledo Spain Alcazar is a must-visit for every traveler. More than religious architecture, Toledo is known for the imposing Alcazar fortress. Modern Toledo is still considered the religious and historical capital of Spain, and the entire city has even been declared a National Monument. When the Moors ruled Spain they practiced unusual religious tolerance in Toledo; both Christianity and Judaism were tolerated, with the result being that today Toledo is one of the few cities in the world in which it is possible to view Renaissance Cathedrals, Synagogues and Mosques.
The city Toledo Spain was inhabited in prehistoric times, and there already existed an important Iberian settlement when the Romans arrived around 200 BC. The rock on which Toledo Spain sits is bounded on three sides by the Rio Tajo. Below the Alcazar, mosques and churches and synagogues are heaped one upon another with only the narrowest of cobbled street twisting through the architectural maze. As the city comes into view, the skyline is dominated by the mighty Alcazar fortress. The city of Toledo Spain is only 44 miles from the teeming capital, yet in the 90 minutes it takes to arrive there by train, one feels that they have left not only Madrid, but the last three centuries behind.
Perched atop a rocky mountain and surrounded by yellow hillsides, the medieval city Toledo Spain is one of the oldest towns on the Iberian Peninsula, and a perfect day trip or overnight visit from Madrid.
