Description
You get an entirely different feel for the city of Toledo Spain if you cross the Tagus River and view it form the opposite bank. The Tagus River cradles the city of Toledo on three sides and as you walk around the perimeter, various parts of the scenic city slowly reveal themselves. Here in the upper left is seen the Monasterio de San Juan de los Reyes (Monastery of Saint John of the Kings), a Franciscan monastery built 1477-1504, sitting along a dramatic bend of the river with rocky cliffs below. Toledo is the capital of the province of Toledo and the autonomous community of Castile-La Mancha. It was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1986 for its extensive cultural and monumental heritage and historical co-existence of Christian, Muslim and Jewish cultures.
