Description

Spend 4 hours exploring the religious highlights of Toledo, an ancient city set on a hill above Castilla-La Mancha's plains in central Spain. I recommend you to visit the city's famous cathedral and discover the art that made the city famous. There we will see several paintings by El Greco. But his masterpiece "The burial of Lord of Orgaz"  is in the Church of Santo Tome. 

Toledo is known as the Capital of Three Religions: that's why on this tour it is recommended to visit as well the synagogue of Saint Mary the White, from the XIIth century, but it was built as a mosque. Let me explain you why it is like that.

In you come by train from Madrid (it is only 25 minutes) we can meet at the thrain station, an example of the arquitecture of the begining of the XXth century. To go to the old city we will need a taxi. To arrive to ehe city center could be about 6€; but we can use it to go around the old city, to see the best views of the old town, with an stop on the best point of view to take some photos or videos. It is one of the best views of a historical site (it coulb be about 15€).

We will walk through the sections of the old town, but you will pay the entrances of the monuments you want to visit. The tree ones I recommend (cathedral, church of Saint Tomas and the Synagogue) is 15€ per person.
