Catedral Primada Toledo, España
I want to be the So I’m stopping by this corner because of that recent open there. You see that? That is the tallest tower of the cathedral. This cathedral has two tower. How tall would you say this is? Approximately 92 m approximately. You were paying attention. Okay. Yes, 92 m. It was made by the 14th century in Gothic style. But the story about this tower is inside, not outside. Inside the fing and a lot of people call it the fat bell. Let’s see if you can guess the weight is a fat boy. 200 kilos. 20 tons less 10 tons more 15 nearly there were 17 tons. It was made by the 18th century total people wanted to keep to their church a huge bell according to the size of the building. So they started to look for the best bell maker around the city and they never found that person. They found a disastrous person. The first day they have to ring the bell at the first without fact completely from the top to the bottom. But you know what happens here? Jan people are famous to be quiet and stubborn by nature. So they will never ever admit when they do something wrong. So instead of admitting that the bell maker was not the best one, they started to make up stories. We started to say that it banned, sorry, it cracked because the first band was so loud that even people from Madrid could hear it. So loud that every single glass around Toledo broke. It was so loud that every single pregnant woman in Toledo gave birth at once. I was kidding. You’re welcome. Okay. So, this would be the main facade of the building of the cathedral. And we see you’ve got three doors, three gates, right? The most important one, obviously, it’s that one in the middle, the biggest one. And it has a proper name. It is a forgiveness gate because according to the legend once you cross it you get immediately forgiven from all of your sins. How cool is that? It is always closed. Forget about that. Because its second name is the Romanian gate. Only kings and kings from Spain have the right to cross it and get forgiveness. How about the cathedral started to be built by the total of 27 sorry 26. The first architect was Maestro Martin or Max Martin. He was French. He knew it was Alamote there in Paris. So used it here in Toledo. His original plan for the building was to build two equal towers. What the hell happened? Why do we have a giant and a mushroom? What can you imagine? He died. There’s always one person saying he died. What else? Okay. She’s like, I don’t know. I came here to hear you. Exactly. There are three different reasons why they look so not equal at all. The first one, the construction of the building took place in a little bit longer than they thought at the beginning. Specifically, 267 years. That’s a lot of time. styles change. The first tower is Gothic built like the 14th century but the second one is bar three centuries later it was done nothing to do with each other. Second one bloody money always closed by 1493. Does that date ring about to you? 1493. She’s picked up. No, that’s See heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat.
