Best of Toledo

Perched on a hill and surrounded by a gorgeous landscape, Toledo is easily one of the most beautiful small cities in Spain. Toledo is full of picturesque streets and architecture - in fact, the entire city is a UNESCO World Heritage site due to its large number of historical monuments. 

Toledo's history dates back to Roman times, but in the 16th century, the city was the capital of Old Spain. It was during this period that Toledo was known as the "City of the Three Cultures," a place where—legend has it—Christian, Muslim, and Jewish communities peacefully coexisted. You can see remnants of this history in the monuments created by all three groups that still stand. These include the 15th-century Monastery of San Juan de Los Reyes, the Mosque-Church of El Salvador, and the Synagogue of Santa María la Blanca, which dates to the 12th century.
