About Toledo
Toledo is a hilltop city in central Spain, ringed by the River Tagus, where Christian, Jewish and Muslim monuments stand side by side.
Toledo sits on a rocky hill almost encircled by a bend of the Tagus river, its skyline crowned by the Alcázar fortress and the Gothic cathedral. Toledo was the seat of the Spanish court until 1561, and it is known as the city of three cultures, with churches, synagogues and mosques from the Christian, Jewish and Muslim past. The historic centre is a World Heritage Site, a tangle of steep lanes.
