Description
The Alcázar is located on the highest part of the city, so it is not only a great place to visit to learn about the history and culture of Toledo, but it is also worth seeing for its stunning panorama. Alcázar means fortress, and it was built on the city’s highest point for military and strategic benefits. It was first used as a Roman palace in the 3rd century, passing to some of Spain’s royalty before being conquered by the Arabs, who had a very strong influence in this city. Today, it is a museum with various exhibitions that center around the evolution of military strategy and weapons.
In this image we see the Tagus River running through and around Toledo.
