The Heart of Spanish Catholicism: Toledo Cathedral

**Toledo Cathedral (Catedral de Toledo)** is the heart of Spanish Catholicism and a magnificent example of medieval Gothic architecture. Construction began in the 13th century and continued for approximately 250 years until the late 15th century. Its overwhelming scale and intricate decorations leave visitors in awe. Inside the cathedral, you'll find dozens of chapels, an ornate altar, Gothic-style vaulted ceilings, an altar adorned with angelic sculptures, and religious paintings by masters such as El Greco, displayed like treasures. Notable highlights include the double stained-glass windows in the transept, the golden choir stalls (Coro), and the Archbishop's Cross in the treasury. As the most important archbishop's cathedral in Spain, Toledo Cathedral is a must-visit landmark. While its grandeur is impressive from the outside, the experience of walking through its interior is even more breathtaking.

#July Travel Support Fund **Toledo**, located in central Spain, is a city where various cultures and eras coexist, so much so that it is called ‘A Thousand Years of History in a Day.’ It was the capital of Spain in the past, and is also a symbolic city of cultural fusion where Rome, Islam, Judaism, and Christianity flourished together. At the entrance to the city, the first thing that greets you is the arched stone bridge, the Alcantara Bridge, that crosses the Tagus River. After crossing the river and climbing the hill, you enter the medieval castle walls, and you are greeted by narrow, labyrinthine alleyways, red-roofed views, magnificent cathedrals, and Gothic architecture. Here are some of the most notable sights: •Toledo Cathedral: The epitome of Spanish Gothic architecture, featuring El Greco's masterpieces •Alcazar: A fortress on a hill and now a military museum •Ponte San Martin: A photogenic spot with a panoramic view of the western side of Toledo •El Greco Museum: A space to experience El Greco's artistic world •Plaza de Zocodover: The central square where travelers and locals gather •Jewish Quarter and Monastery of San Juan: A quiet area where history and religion meet Toledo is a day trip, but it is recommended to stay for a day to see the entire city turn red at sunset. A place where you can walk along the traces of the Middle Ages during the day and enjoy time slowly while looking at the city lit up under the walls at night. That is the charm of Toledo. #ToledoTravel #Toledo
