Places to see in ( Castile La Mancha - Spain ) Toledo San Roman Church
The Iglesia de San Román is a church in Toledo. The church built in the Mudéjar architectural style in the 13th century. in the place where before there was an old Visigothic architecture and probably, an Ancient Roman building. It is currently the headquarters of the Museum of the Councils and Visigothic Culture.
It is located in one of the highest and privileged places of the city, in the second of the twelve hills that form it. There is already news of the parish in the 12th century and the church would be consecrated in 1221 by the archbishop Rodrigo Ximénez de Rada. The tradition indicates that in it was crowned king to Alfonso VIII of Castile the August 26 of 1166.
The church presents floor plan with three naves, separated by horseshoe arches with alfiz that support on pillars With Visigoth and Roman columns attached to capitels are reused from Visigothic origin in some cases, distinguishing themselves by its Corinthian leaves.
Throughout 13th century a new apse was constructed and the robust tower (of Toledan Mudéjar style, with its two upper bodies in double bell tower, opening the vanos in groups of two and three, and that would serve as a model for other Toledan towers); In addition to being realized the murals to the fresco in Romanesque painting figurative combined with typically Mudéjar decorations. Of great beauty, these are considered the most southern of Spain. The frescoes are divided into two areas separated by inscriptions. They emphasize the four winged evangelists and the representations of archbishops, the saints Stephen and Lawrence, angels or the Final Judgment.
In the 16th century, Alonso de Covarrubias designed the apse with Plateresque dome of coffers in the main chapel; and later covered the paintings, which lost its traces until the first third of the 20th century in which these were rediscovered. It was not until the 1940s that these were recovered where possible.

Toledo
The old city is located on a mountaintop with a 150-degree view, surrounded on three sides by a bend in the Tagus River, and contains many historical sites, including the Alcázar, the cathedral (the primate church of Spain), and the Zocodover, a central market place.
From the 4th century to the 16th century about thirty synods were held at Toledo. The earliest, directed against Priscillian, assembled in 400. At the synod of 589 the Visigothic King Reccared declared his conversion from Arianism to Catholicism; the synod of 633 decreed uniformity of catholic liturgy throughout the Visigothic kingdom and took stringent measures against baptized Jews who had relapsed into their former faith. Other councils forbade circumcision, Jewish rites and observance of the Sabbath and festivals. Throughout the seventh century, Jews were flogged, executed, had their property confiscated, were subjected to ruinous taxes, forbidden to trade and, at times, dragged to the baptismal font. The council of 681 assured to the archbishop of Toledo the primacy of Spain. At Guadamur, very close to Toledo, was dug in 1858 the Treasure of Guarrazar, the best example of Visigothic art in Spain.
As nearly one hundred early canons of Toledo found a place in the Decretum Gratiani, they exerted an important influence on the development of ecclesiastical law. The synod of 1565–1566 concerned itself with the execution of the decrees of the Council of Trent; and the last council held at Toledo, 1582–1583, was guided in detail by Philip II.
Toledo had large communities of Muslims and Jews until they were expelled from Spain in 1492 (Jews) and 1502 (Mudéjars). Today's city contains the religious monuments the Synagogue of Santa María la Blanca, the Synagogue of El Transito, Mosque of Cristo de la Luz and the church of San Sebastián dating from before the expulsion, still maintained in good condition. Among Ladino-speaking Sephardi Jews, in their various diasporas, the family name Toledano is still prevalent – indicating an ancestry traced back to this city (the name is also attested among non-Jews in various Spanish-speaking countries).
TOLEDO Spain
Toledo arose over the course of 2,500 years, whose legacy we can observe today in its
streets, monuments and museums.
On the other side of the Tagus River, at the Cerro del Bu archaeological site, remnants
of its origins as a city take us back to its oldest inhabitants, the Carpetani, who dwelled
here during the Bronze Age.
Conquering the city in 192 BC, the Romans renamed it Toletum. Today one can still see
signs of the Empire’s heritage, in the traces of the Roman road, the circus for chariot
races, beams, mosaics and, in Carranque, near Toledo, the villa, it is believed, of
Maternus Cinegius, who served under Emperor Theodosius I.
After the Visigoths’ taking of the city in the 4th century, they established the capital of
their kingdom here, and two centuries later, in 589, Reccared would convene the
Council of Toledo, at which Arianism was rejected and Catholicism was embraced as
the kingdom's faith.
But Visigothic hegemony would only last until 711, when the Moors conquered the
capital. It is to this empire that Toledo owes its current form, including the narrow and
steep streets we walk today, and architectural highlights like the mosques of Cristo de
la Luz, and Tornerías; and the Puerta de Alcantara gate.
The Reconquest reached Toledo in 1085 and, after the Christians' victory, King Alfonso
VI made it the capital of the Kingdom of Castile, wresting this honour from Burgos.
In 1226, Fernando III began construction on the Cathedral of Toledo, on what had been
the city’s Mezquita Mayor, or Main Mosque.
Meanwhile, throughout these centuries of conquest and reconquest, the Jews had
remained in Toledo, also shaping it and leaving us examples of their architecture, such
as the Synagogue of Santa María la Blanca, and that of El Tránsito. This cultural
coexistence would begin to erode in the 14th century, until it was shattered by the
Catholic Monarchs, who decreed the expulsion of the Jews in 1492.
These kings were also responsible for the contruction of the Monasterio de San Juan
de los Reyes, Toledo's quintessential Gothic building. In fact, it was here where they
wished to be buried, though their remains were ultimately laid to rest far from Toledo,
in Granada's Royal Chapel.
In the 16th century, after the revolt of los comuneros against King Charles V, the ruler
wished to show the world the power of the Empire's capital through impressive works
of Renaissance architecture, such as El Alcázar, now an army museum – which would
have a sad moment of prominence during the Spanish Civil War, when rebel troops
resisted the Republican army's siege of the fortress.
Many centuries before this episode, Toledo's hegemony as capital of the kingdom
came to an end when in 1561 the King Felipe II moved the court to Madrid, relegating
Toledo to city of convents and monasteries. It was during this era when the artist that
would forever be associated with the culture of the city moved there: El Greco. It was
here where the painter developed his fullest and most personal style, with works like
the main altarpiece of the church of Santo Domingo el Antiguo, and The Burial of the
Count of Orgaz, which we can view in the church of Santo Tomé.
Today Toledo is the capital of Castilla la Mancha, and a living example of the cultures
that have shaped, over the centuries, the country we are today.

Toledo, Spain - City of the Three Cultures
Toledo is a city and municipality located in central Spain, it is the capital of the province of Toledo and the autonomous community of Castile–La Mancha. The capital of the region, it’s known for the medieval Arab, Jewish and Christian monuments in its walled old city. It was also the former home of Mannerist painter El Greco. The Moorish Bisagra Gate and the Sol Gate, in Mudéjar style, open into the old quarter, where the Plaza de Zocodover is a lively meeting place. It was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1986 for its extensive cultural and monumental heritage and historical co-existence of Christian, Muslim and Jewish cultures.
Toledo is known as the Imperial City for having been the main venue of the court of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, and as the City of the Three Cultures, having been influenced by a historical co-existence of Christians, Muslims and Jews. Toledo has a history in the production of bladed weapons, which are now popular souvenirs of the city.
The old city is located on a mountaintop with a 150 degree view, surrounded on three sides by a bend in the Tagus River, and contains many historical sites, including the Alcázar, the cathedral, and the Zocodover, a central market place.
Toledo was famed for religious tolerance and had large communities of Muslims and Jews until they were expelled from Spain in 1492 and 1502. Today's city contains the religious monuments the Synagogue of Santa María la Blanca, the Synagogue of El Transito, Mosque of Cristo de la Luz and the church of San Sebastián dating from before the expulsion, still maintained in good condition.
The Cathedral of Toledo was built between 1226–1493 and modeled after the Bourges Cathedral, though it also combines some characteristics of the Mudéjar style. It is remarkable for its incorporation of light and features the Baroque altar called El Transparente, several stories high, with fantastic figures of stucco, paintings, bronze castings, and multiple colors of marble, a masterpiece of medieval mixed media by Narciso Tomé topped by the daily effect for just a few minutes of a shaft of light from which this feature of the cathedral derives its name. Two notable bridges secured access to Toledo across the Tajo, the Alcántara bridge and the later built San Martín bridge.
The Monasterio de San Juan de los Reyes is a Franciscan monastery, built 1477–1504, in a remarkable combination of Gothic-Spanish-Flemish style with Mudéjar ornamentation.
Toledo was home to El Greco for the latter part of his life, and is the subject of some of his most famous paintings, including The Burial of the Count of Orgaz, exhibited in the Church of Santo Tomé.

Places to see in ( San Sebastian - Spain ) Iglesia de Santa Maria del Coro
The Basilica of Saint Mary of Coro is a baroque Roman Catholic parish church and minor basilica completed in 1774. It is located in the Parte Vieja of the city of San Sebastián, Gipuzkoa, Basque Country, Spain.
The main nave consists of a large space of 48 by 33 metres (157 ft × 108 ft) divided into three naves, which in turn can be divided into 4 zones having as axis the pillars of the nave. Six pillars and the walls with pillars act as a buttress supporting the vaults. The octagonal pillars reach, up to their capitals, a height of 15 metres (49 ft). The central dome is 27 metres (89 ft) high. At the end of the nave, on the right side, different rooms are used by the parish and other services: daily chapel, sacristy and storage rooms.
The main entrance of Iglesia de Santa Maria del Coro is located between the two towers and looks as an altarpiece with its tortured figure of Saint Sebastian and the papal symbols that prove the status of minor basilica. The shield of the city crowns the building.
