Toledo is an ancient city set on a hill above the plains of Castilla-La Mancha in central Spain. 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.
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. Toledo 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.
People who were born or have lived in Toledo include Brunhilda of Austrasia, Al-Zarqali, Garcilaso de la Vega, Eleanor of Toledo, Alfonso X and El Greco. Toledo was also the place of important historic events such as the Visigothic Councils of Toledo.
The Cathedral of Toledo (Catedral de 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. When Philip II moved the royal court from Toledo to Madrid in 1561, the old city went into a slow decline from which it never recovered. The city of Toledo was declared a Historic-Artistic Site in 1940, UNESCO later given the title of World Heritage in 1987.

Places to see in ( Castile La Mancha - Spain ) Toledo Synagogue of Santa María la Blanca
Santa María la Blanca (literally Saint Mary the White, originally known as the Ibn Shushan Synagogue, or commonly The Congregational Synagogue of Toledo') is a museum and former synagogue in Toledo, Spain. Erected in 1180, it is disputably considered the oldest synagogue building in Europe still standing. It is now owned and preserved by the Catholic Church.
Its stylistic and cultural classification is unique as it was constructed under the Christian Kingdom of Castile by Islamic architects for Jewish use. It is considered a symbol of the cooperation that existed among the three cultures that populated the Iberian Peninsula during the Middle Ages.
The synagogue is a Mudéjar construction, created by Moorish architects on Christian soil for non-Islamic purposes. But it can also be considered one of the finest example of Almohad architecture because of its construction elements and style. The plain white interior walls as well as the use of brick and of pillars instead of columns are characteristics of Almohad architecture.
The synagogue at Santa Maria la Blanca is located on the outskirts of Toledo situated between the Church of San Juan de los Reyes and the Synagogue of El Transito. Other well-preserved, pre-expulsion synagogues can be found in Híjar, Córdoba and Tomar.
Santa Maria la Blanca was a wholly unusual synagogue, in both plan and elevation. The floor plan of the synagogue is an irregular quadrilateral divided into five aisles, with the central nave aisle slightly larger than the remaining four. The space runs between 26 and 28 meters long and between 19 and 23 meters wide. The interior features a series of arcades supported on a network of twenty-four octagonal piers and eight engaged piers. These octagonal supports line the central aisle of the synagogue and support the large arcade of horseshoe arches above. The arches rest on intricately detailed capitals with finely carved pinecones and other vegetal imagery. These capitals are Mudéjar in style and are derived from classical, Corinthian antecedents as well as Byzantine concepts.

Though one of the smaller of Spain's provincial capitals, Toledo looms large in the nation's history and consciousness as a religious centre, bulwark of the Spanish church, and once-flourishing symbol of a multicultural medieval society. The Old Town today is a treasure chest of churches, museums, synagogues and mosques set in a labyrinth of narrow streets, plazas and inner patios in a lofty setting high above Río Tajo.
Toledo's charms, and its proximity to Madrid, mean that it can get choked with tour groups during the day. Try to stay till dusk, when the city returns to the locals and the streets take on a moody, other-worldly air.

Navahermosa, Toledo || Alfombras Florales y Procesión Corpus Christi 2014 || HD
En Navahermosa provincia de Toledo, como es costumbre, los vecinos realizaron el pasado 22 de Junio la tradicional procesión del Corpus Christi, que va visitando uno a uno cada altar puesto en su honor. Estos altares, así como su correspondiente alfombra, son realizados y adornados desde la noche anterior y conllevan el esfuerzo de varias horas de trabajo. Suele ser habitual que varios vecinos de una calle se junten para trabajar, pero también los hay hechos por una sola familia.
Las alfombras se hacen con serrín de colores o con flores naturales y a su alrededor todo el suelo es cubierto de plantas aromáticas como tomillo, romero, lavanda o incluso laurel, así como las calles aledañas por donde transcurre la procesión que quedan impregnadas de un aroma casi místico.
La comitiva de la procesión va precedida por los estandartes de las diferentes hermandades y cofradías, a las que sigue la custodia. Tras llegar a un altar, la custodia reposa sobre él mientras el párroco lo bendice y reza unas oraciones.

RECUPERAN LA LUZ OBRAS OLVIDADAS
Tres piezas escultóricas, que llevan 55 años sin mostrarse en la Semana Santa de Toledo, pueden verse ahora. Son obra del arquitecto del siglo XIX, Ignacio Haan, y estarán en la Biblioteca del Palacio de Lorenzana de Toledo hasta el 22 de diciembre.
El artista es el creador de innumerables edificaciones de la ciudad imperial, tales como el Hospital del Nuncio o la Puerta Llana de la Catedral. Además, es el artífice del Monumento de Semana Santa que se instalaba periódicamente en la Catedral de Toledo, que con una altura de cinco pisos está considerado como el más grande del mundo. Aunque pueda parecerlo, las esculturas no son de marmol, sino de madera. Gracias a un proceso de marmolización consiguen un buen resultado. El último montaje se produjo en 1955, y desde entonces aguarda en las dependencias de la Catedral Primada a expensas de que alguien lo saque a la luz.

La ERMITA DEL CRISTO DE LA LUZ, una de las más bellas mezquitas de Toledo
El Cristo de la Luz, originariamente mezquita de Bab al-Mardum, convertida en iglesia entorno al 1085 tras la reconquista de la ciudad de Toledo, de manos del Alfonso VI. Se trata de uno de los exponentes más importantes de arquitectura islámica del periodo califal en España. La creencia más extendida determina que su construcción data del 999 debido a la inscripción que se encuentra en su fachada. La fachada se compone de ladrillo sin enlucir con 3 puertas de herraduras. El quibla y el mihrab fueron sustituidos por una cabecera de estilo mudéjar, al reconvertir la mezquita en un templo cristiano.
