Tour Details

At the scheduled time, we’ll meet up in the Town Hall Square in the stunning historic center of Toledo, right next to the towering Cathedral. Once everyone has arrived, we’ll begin the guided tour. Did you know the Toledo Cathedral was built in 1226 on the remains of a former Visigothic church and a mosque?

We’ll start by looking at the main façade, famous for its monumental doors. One highlight is the Puerta de los Leones, which stands out for the group of statues crowning its upper section.

As we walk through the cathedral, we’ll admire its beautifully lit cloister. The vaults and galleries allow light to filter through the immense arches, creating a striking atmosphere.

Although the cathedral follows a Catholic tradition, it also shows clear Muslim influence. Will you be able to spot architectural elements that seem taken straight from a mosque? Along the way, you’ll understand why Toledo is known as the city of the three cultures: Christian, Muslim, and Jewish.

We’ll explore the interior of the cathedral to discover the beauty of the choir, the main altar, the sacristy, and the chapter house, where religious activities take place.

Finally, after an hour and a half, the tour will come to an end, and we'll say our goodbyes.
