Toledo El Greco made Toledo his home and who could blame him. It is a town to be explored on foot and quickly fills up with visitors to admire the buildings and fine arts that abound. Toledo is world famous for the quality of its steel and swords produced here since Roman Times. It is also well known for 'damascene' decorated objects made of black steel, inlayed with gold, copper and silver. Toledo is the religious centre of Spain and has many churches. The Cathedral, which is hemmed in by narrow streets, boasts the 'Transparente' which is a breathtaking vision in light and sculptored figures and should not be missed. |
