Estacion del Ferrocarril
旅旅の径Toledo Railway Station was built in 1858, and the current station building was built in 1919. It was listed as a Spanish national cultural relic in 1991 and became a high-speed railway station after restoration in 2005.
Located on the east side of the ancient city, the station has a construction area of nearly 13,000 square meters and a neo-Moorish architectural style; the dignified and towering bell tower imitates the style of the tower of the ancient city's cathedral; the multi-petal arches and staggered battlement decorations on the top are in line with the ancient city's reputation as a "place where three religious cultures converge."
A series of streamlined high-speed trains carry groups of tourists from Madrid 70 kilometers away... I am impressed by this true "century-long plan."
The Alcázar
旅旅の径The Alcázar Castle in Toledo is located at the highest point of the ancient city. It is a castle with a long history and a tragic fate.
In the third century, a Roman palace was built; in the tenth century, after Muslims conquered Toledo, they built this commanding height of the ancient city into a fortress; in the eleventh century, Christianity recaptured Toledo and built a castle here; during the reign of Carlos I in the sixteenth century, the castle was converted into a royal palace; after his successor Philip II moved the capital to Madrid, the castle lost its original important status and served as a prison, barracks, workshop and military academy.
During the Spanish Civil War, the castle was severely damaged in the war; after the war, in order to commend the soldiers guarding the castle, Franco ordered the castle to be rebuilt as it was, and it has been preserved to this day.
Today's castle is square, magnificent and majestic; the bottom floor of the castle has some ruins left as a memorial; the main body of the castle has become a military museum and library; the top floor of the castle has a 360° panoramic view of the beautiful scenery of the ancient city.
San Martin's Bridge
旅旅の径The St. Martin Bridge, located on the west side of the ancient city of Toledo, is a medieval bridge across the Tahoe River. It was built in the 13th century and built in the late 14th century. Two Gothic-style defense towers stand at the head of the bridge. The five-arch stone bridge with a large arch + four small arch is similar to the Zhaozhou Bridge in China. Looking at the stone bridge, the mottled exterior tells the vicissitudes of history, the city emblem of the bridge shows the immortal glory, and the monastery in the distance blooms with a straight figure...
Puerta del Sol
SsculptorThe Puerta del Sol is a city gate in Toledo, Spain, built in the late 14th century. The medallion above the gate's arch depicts the ordination of Ildefonso the Visigothic Goth, the patron saint of Toledo. The gate's name comes from the sun and moon that were once painted on either side of this medallion. The gate got its name because it faced east, where the sun always rose. The gate is no longer there, but the entrance is there.
Monasterio de San Juan de los Reyes
MMaryJoy Dela Cruz GonzalesThe cloisters and church are full of beautiful details, well worth a look. Wonderful old monastery. Although it is a bit far from the center of Toledo, it is worth visiting. The ticket was quite reasonable, only 3 euro per adult.
El Antiguo Convento De Santo Domingo
