The expert guide leads visitors through three iconic monuments including the Alcázar fortress, a stellar example of military architecture perched at the city’s highest point; the Toledo Cathedral, a Gothic masterpiece filled with intricate woodwork and El Greco’s striking paintings; and a historically significant synagogue, showcasing the coexistence of diverse faiths centuries ago.
Beyond the landmarks, Iberian Events S.L offers time for participants to linger at favorite spots, allowing a moment to absorb Toledo’s deep historical resonance.
