Toledo

A Jewish prison in Toledo.

The queen order that all the prisoners be let go and to show the good she did, she hung all the shackels of the prisioners on the outside walls of the prison.


The last standing Jewish synaggogue in all of Spain is in Toledo.


I really like all the tiny streets that are made of stones and rock, and the way the houses look all skinny and tall.

The main Government building in the middle of the city which is only used on occassion now-a-days.

The #2 biggest and most beautiful cathedral in all of Spain. The inside was amazing to see, completely breath taking. We weren't allowed to take pictures but I don't think the pictures would of done it any justice anyways. They had 2 ancient oregans that had a total of 900 pipes. They only use them twice a year, on Easter (the day it's celebrated in the States) and on Spain's easter which the Thursday before our Sunday Easter.


This is where we entered into the Cathedral.

This was writing on the outside of an ancient school. When people would get a degree form the school they would ask to have their names written on the building and only a few were chosen. Today you can still see some of the writing and it's from the 1600s.
A few scenic pictures of the city.
The main river that runs through the city.
This is the bridge to cross the river.
Just a short drive up a mountain you get the best panoramic view of Toledo.



Holy Toledo!
