Toledo is located in the heart of Spain, on a rocky promontory surrounded by the Tagus River. Considered by many to be a second Rome, it was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1986 thanks to its rich history and the union of Muslim, Jewish and Christian cultures, which can still be seen today in its streets and monuments.

The Alcázar is a rectangular fortification located in the highest part of the city. Originally it was a Roman palace, but it was later modified and currently houses the collections of the Army Museum and the Library of Castilla La Mancha.

Also known as the Primate Cathedral of Toledo, the Cathedral of Santa María de Toledo was built in white stone following the Spanish Gothic architectural style. It currently functions as the seat of the Toledo archdiocese.
