💙The Alcazar in Toledo💙

🇪🇸Timeless Toledo🇪🇸 We visit The Alcázar, a symbolic building, and is located in the highest area of the city of Toledo, taking its most remote origins in Roman times. Located in a strategic point of the city, during the Visigothic period, Eurico conquers the city and Leovigildo establishes therein the capital, leaving modifications and adaptations in the building, considered and originally conceived as a large fortress. During the reigns of Alfonso VI and Alfonso X The Wise, it is rebuilt, giving rise to the first alcázar of square floor with towers at the corners, and a main facade in three sections. In the 16th century Carlos V and Felipe II ordered to erect the Alcázar as such. Fun Fact: The Alcazar is Rumored to be a meeting place for witches and A symbol of the occult in Toledo. This imposing fortress is said to be haunted by the spirits of past kings and warriors, their presence felt in the echoes of the halls. #traveldiaries #photolocations #summervacation #freehotelstay #familytrip #localguides #spaintrip #historicallandmarks #mytravelhacks #passionpassport #awesomepic #urbanexplorer #spain #foodie #asiatrip #mustdo #food #trip
