The Álcazar, a symbolic building, is located in the highest area of the city of Toledo, having its most remote origins in Roman times. Located at a strategic point in the city, during the Visigothic period, Eurico conquered the city and Leovigildo established it as the capital, leaving modifications and adaptations to said building, initially considered and conceived as a great fortress. During the reigns of Alfonso VI and Alfonso X El Sabio, it was redone, giving rise to the first square-plan fortress with towers at the corners, and a three-section main façade. In the 16th century Carlos V and Felipe II ordered the erection of the Alcázar as such.

An imposing structure with a beautiful exhibit on the fortress and a beautiful museum designed to delight children in particular, as it deals with knights, displays ship models and offers insights into the colonies of Spain.

A day visiting the UNESCO rated hilltop city of Toledo with its cathedral and Alcazar. To be honest though whoever thought of building a cathedral at the top of a 500m hill and the car park at the bottom needs speaking to. At least they put in escalators all the way to the top though (honest 🤷). Stunning, stunning place.
