Full description
Discover the Muslim, Jewish, and Christian history of Toledo with this combined tour that will take you to the city’s most emblematic monuments.
A crossroads of cultures you will never forget.
We will begin our journey by immersing ourselves in the Muslim history of the Iberian Peninsula with a visit to the Mosque of Cristo de la Luz, built during the peak of the Caliphate of Córdoba. Afterwards, we will explore the city’s Jewish heritage by visiting the Synagogue of Santa María la Blanca, one of the most important from medieval Spain.
The first part of the tour includes a visit to the Church of Santo Tomé, famous for housing one of El Greco’s most iconic masterpieces: The Burial of the Count of Orgaz.
Finally, we will head to the Cathedral of Toledo. From its majestic main façade and the Puerta de los Leones, we will enter the temple to admire its cloister, galleries, and splendid Gothic vaults. During the visit, the guide will reveal the history and secrets of every corner of this imposing Christian building, which still preserves clear influences of Muslim art and architecture.
