Once in the northwestern town can be a side trip to the churches from the 13th San Roman Century with a beautiful Mudejar tower and the San Ildefonso, with its magnificent Baroque facade plan. In the eastern town you should definitely go up to the Alcazar, the highest point of Toledo. In 1810 this was unfortunately burnt down by the French, but then rebuilt, but during the Civil War occupied the Alcazar was under attack so that someday he really exploded, and not much of it remained. North of the Alcazar is the Museo de Santa Cruz, a former hospital with a beautiful Renaissance facade and late Gothic portal, which is now an archaeological collection on the history of the region, and houses an art gallery and a sculpture collection.

Many other small churches adorn the city, interested parties can visit it yet, but should be the last attraction in any case, the Hospital Tavera miss with its Renaissance facade, which is a collection important painting houses.
