Five things to see/do in Toledo: Although the origins of the Alcazar, perched on a hillside above the city, date back to Roman times, it is most famous for having been the Royal Palace of several Spanish kings in the 16th century.
Check out the stunning Gothic facade of the Toledo Cathedral (Catedral de Toledo), one of the most impressive cathedrals in Spain.
The Monasterio de San Juan de los Reyes, another elegantly elaborate Gothic church, is also worth a visit.
Pay a visit to El Greco’s House and Museum to learn more about the life and times of the famous Spanish/Greek painter. Fans of the painter should not miss his famous “Entierro Del Señor De Orgaz” (The Burial of Count Orgaz) at the Iglesia De Santo Tome.
Pay a visit to the Santa Maria La Blanca, which was originally a 12th century synagogue that was later converted into a church, and is presently a museum.
