The church of Santiago el Mayor or Santiago del Arrabal is located next to the Puerta de Bisagra, in the northern area of the historic center of the city; It was built in the second half of the 13th century, under the patronage of Sancho II, King of Portugal. It is one of the clearest examples of a Toledo Mudejar-style building due to its large dimensions and pure lines, built in brick and taped masonry.

This church is dedicated to James the Elder (Santiago), who is probably (besides Peter and Paul) the most prominent apostle and national saint of Spain. The European network of Ways of Saint James, usually marked by the symbol of the yellow shell on a blue background, leads pilgrims to his tomb. This is in the Galician 'Santiago de Compostella', where he rests in a magnificent basilica built in his honor.
The martyrdom (execution) of James is handed down by the evangelist Luke in the New Testament "Acts of the Apostles". The feast day of Saint James in the calendar of saints is July 25th.

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.
