Toledo is a city that will surely charm you, for its history and legends, as we stroll through narrow streets and admire the original architecture of the main highlights of this city. The co-existence of three cultures made this city in the Middle Ages an important cultural centre for Muslims, Jews, and Christians.
The tour includes the visit of the Cathedral. This monument built on top of a Muslim mosque is a great example of Spanish Gothic art! The inside of the building contains a large number of artworks (stained glasses, choir, main chapel, altarpieces, El Greco paintings, etc.).
Get to know the home of the famous painting El Greco, the Burial of the Count of Orgaz, the overwhelming Church of Santo Tomé. Here you will be able to learn the story of this saint.
Visit one of the most enchanting monuments in Toledo, the old main Synagogue of Santa María la Blanca, located in the Jewish quarter of Toledo. It is considered a symbol of the cooperation of the three cultures who populated the Iberian Peninsula in the Middle Ages.
Next, discover the Monastery of San Juan de los Reyes, built under the patronage of Queen Elizabeth I of Castile with the intention of making it a royal mausoleum in commemoration of the Battle of Toro and the birth of Prince Juan.
Next, discover the Mosque of Cristo de la Luz, a rarity since it is in much the same state as it was when it was originally built! This is considered the oldest monument in Toledo.
The tour will end with a Panoramic Sightseeing of Toledo and stop at a viewpoint with breathtaking views of the city for taking the best pictures of Toledo.
It is now time to return comfortably to Madrid!
