What you can expect

We offer you the opportunity to get to know Toledo better with our daily walking tour of the city.

Toledo is a city located in the centre of Spain and is the capital of the province of the same name. Three great religions, Christian, Jewish and Muslim, have coexisted for centuries and have left their mark on the city.

Toledo was declared UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1986.

If you did not know, the Romans settled for the first time in the city and called it Toletum, leaving many remains.

And when the Roman Empire fell, Toledo was conquered by the Germanic peoples in the 6th century. and then invaded by the Muslims at the beginning of the 8th century. In the 12th century, after the Christian reconquest, Toledo became an important cultural centre in Europe and a meeting place for scholars of the three great religions thanks to the creation of the School of Translators.

Jews, Muslims and Christians lived together in harmony for centuries, each leaving their mark on the history of the city.

The city grew steadily thanks to the silk, arms and textile industries.

Toledo became one of the most important cities in Castile in the 16th century. At the beginning of the 14th century, the Catholic Monarchs decreed the expulsion of the Jews.

During the civil war, the Alcazar of Toledo played an important role in the history of the city. The rebels took refuge there and resisted the Republicans for 2 months.

Over the centuries, Toledo has become one of the most interesting cities in Spain with its synagogue of Santa María la Blanca, the monastery of San Juan de los Reyes and the hermitage of Cristo de la Luz or its famous sheds.
