      The entire old city of Toledo is UNESCO Heritage Site we know about is monumentally and beauty it is an authentic monumental city and open air museum and one of the most beatiful cities in the world in relation to size/ monumentality foreigners got a lot but is possible than less because they go more populated and well- known cities because they more populated; there are many sinilar to Toledo in Spain Santiago Compostela; Caceres; Avila;Segovia;;Burgos;Leon;;La
      Laguna;Ubeda;Baeza;Ronda etc..

      Was there end of last year. Felt like I had missed a lot due to time constraint. Perhaps I can revisit and really soak in the histories .Spain fascinating. Ole.

      Yes, there is another city xd Toledo in the state of Ohio. I recommend you visit the region of Galicia, in the northwest of Spain and there you can visit the city of Santiago de Compostela and the Rías Baixas

      A very enjoyable video and I wish I had seen as many of the places in the town you did – but traveling in Europe I can get "cathedral" overload. I would have wanted to see the synagogues (as I think they were built by the Muslims for the Jews – many Muslim details in the building). The one thing that I think was missing is the iconic view of Toledo from across the river and the walls, along with the "novel" approach of multiple escalators to get up to the city. Never-the-less, good video and nice commentary.

      Interesting you pointed the Archbishop's throne in the cathedral. In Spanish it is called cátedra, from Latin cathedra that means armchair. And the church that houses it is a cathedral

      A few small things …. word GERCO is not Spanish but Italian, although he was of greek origin, he came to Toledo from the Italian península where he was called IL GRECCO to avoid his complicated name, Domenikos Teotokópulos.
      The cathedrals are the high Middle Age and beginning Modern Age skycrapers, much more difficult to build, for obvious reasons.
      It is normal that coming from an Anglosaxon culture, you ignore everything about Ysalbel and Ferdinand of Castille, mentionning the usual crap about them……, the Inquisition …., the extradition of jews ….
      I wonder what they have been/are doing with non jews in the Middle East these days.
      The name of the street Toledo, Ohio, is there just to make clear that the one in Spain lent its name to the other Toledos around the world. There are many Americans who might think it is the contrary, like many of them think Spain must be located close to Bolivia, Costa Rica, Chile ……
      Toledo was not only capital of Spain until 1565, when was moved to Madrid, but the capital of the Spanish Empire, the first pentacontinental empire in human history.
      Yes, I m from Toledo.

      Synagogues are beautiful and the oldest mosque of Europe el Christo de la Luz, there's a lot to see and eat in this city of 3 cultures.
