I went last year and it was the highlight of our trip. It's so beautiful with windy narrow streets. It has a beautiful cathedral too.

My grandfather and grandmother are from Toledo... They have shared with me multiple stories about the city and their youth being kids in the Civil War... This is a beautiful and very meaningful video for me to remember their memory with me and to feel my family's past

I'm excited to see Toledo, Madrid & Barcelona this Aug. 11-28, 2014. Then heading to Lisbon, Portugal for 4 days. Toledo looks great and rich in cultural history.

Me second home, I left my heart in this place and I took this city with me everyday.

I am glad I found this city, absolutely breathtaking.

es el mejor país espana.

Magical place. Everyone should go there to see what harmony can create.

Toledo, the former capital of Spain, is one of the most attractive cities in Europe because of its architectural diversity. Consequently, many tourists from all over the world visit there.

You can go here with your Madrid metro card for free! I had such an awesome time and can't wait to go again after knowing all of this rich history. I vlogged some of my adventures in Toledo and want to go back now that it's warm :)

Just visited the city amazing place.

I Love Toledo ,,, the most romantic City in Europe ,,, Many greetings from Vienna.

Today, Toledo looks different, better even, but you showed the fundamental and best THings of the Culture. I really love your Video. HUGS from Torrijos, 20km from Toledo :)

I'm from Uzbekistan I will be visiting this historic city next month.

Magnífico video sobre Toledo. Cada piedra, cada ladrillo, cada calle y esquinas... tiene su historia. Beautiful Rick. !!

Beautiful.

This is a very charming city and easy to get to, I hope I can return to visit sometime in the future when all this is over. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much!

I just got back from there on November, 2023. Beautiful city.

Toledo is beautiful! Btw i've a sword made in Toledo, i know that the city is famous for medieval armory. Oh yes and i love Joanna of Castile one of my favorite queens.

Thanks heaps. 🧡

You said that they moved the capital to Madrid because Toledo was small?? Thats wrong, they moved to Madrid because the kings liked to hunt.

Good place!

Most Americans think Toledo is in Ohio. 16 years in Spain and I'm still learning! Don't forget the Inquisition Museum.

And to 'Rompe huesos toran'......I assume that saying that moors weren't relevant to Spanish history, is just an exaggeration aiming to highlight how rich and diverse Spanish culture is. Obviously the civilization that preserved and thought Europeans ancient Greek history, philosophy and science, ancient Egyptian history, advanced agriculture systems, developed modern medicine, advanced naval maps, developed construction techniques of Gothic architecture, and even Orujo and the term 'OLE'.....is slightly more than a grain of sand in Spanish history, even in European history for that matter.

Nice Video!

Viva Castilla!

Awesome

Thank you to show Toledo, but the music is not flamenco or similiar. Toledo is more than 3000 years old. It´s a celtic city meaning: Oh Ledo!

Moors in Toledo...712 to 1085.

please, if shown old Toledo or Castile not include modern Andalusian music, but spanish renaissance music of some important Toledan musician as Diego Ortiz. Diego Ortiz - Recercadas del Tratado de Glosas ( 1533 )

Nice video but it would be very useful if you actually named the places you visit like the old synagogue so we can do some more research on it. Most KZreadrs also list the places they visit in the description.

and the cathedral?

I hope see you soon, :)

Además el arco de herradura es de origen visigodo. Todo el mundo piensa que es de origen árabe, pero es visigodo, por algo además, Toledo fue la capital ibérica del reino visigodo.

The Moors not controlled Spain for seven centuries. The Moors never completely controlled the peninsula and of those seven centuries only three can be considered as an important domain. The Moors are a grain of sand in the history of Spain. The Germanic tribes are much more important in our history and of course the Romans and the native tribes (Iberians etc).

I visited Toledo last week. This place looks abandoned and not friendly. There are much better towns in Spain like Murcia, Cordoba, Albarracin etc.

Abandoned? Yes, if you do not know what are the historical ruins and its conservation policy, which mostly says that the ruins must be preserved with the smallest reconstructions possible. The entire historic center of Toledo is preserved, with its narrow medieval streets, original twelfth-century bricks, cobbled streets ... all this makes the city a monument in itself, declared, by the way, a world heritage site by Unesco. Abandoned? I think not.

Pg. Ledesma Please don't be upset because of my personal experience. I'd say Toledo is in bad condition in comparison with many other historical places in Spain. It would be great if more money from tourists were spent to conserve historical monuments and keep Toledo in better condition.

@pg.ledesma

7 жыл бұрын

I am not upset. I only say that Toledo isn't abandoned, isn't in poor condition and doesn't need any more money. What happens is that most historic sites are rebuilt or heavily modified, hence they look newer or better than Toledo. Toledo, by contrast, has not rebuilt anything, and has the original layout of its medieval streets and walls, every house you observe is hundreds of years old and the stones you step on have been the same for a thousand years. That is why the whole city is a World Heritage Site (and other places not), preserved almost intact for a thousand years, so everything has an old look (and for eyes untrained, neglected or abandoned). But nothing further from the reality. Millions of Euros are invested in the conservation of Toledo, always with the premise of not rebuilding anything.

Compare Toledo Spain with Toledo Ohio 😂

I disagree that the moors dominated spain for 7 centuries, are you serious? The moors only dominated a small part of Southern Spain. Spain was dominated by the kingdom of Castille not Moors!

The Moors dominated all Spain except a small part in the north, which today is the Asturias region. In the year 711 they invaded the Peninsula almost completely. From Asturias, and during 800 years, the Christians, divided in different kingdoms (Castilla, Leon, Aragon, Galicia) were reconquering the country, what is denominated "The Reconquista", wich finished in 1492 with the conquest of the last Moorish kingdom of Spain, Granada, in the south. Castilla was the kingdom that more territory conquered to the Moors, for that reason it became the most powerful kingdom of the Iberian Peninsula until the union with Aragon in the XV Century and the creation of the kingdom of Spain. Today, there is a popular saying in Asturias that says: "Spain is Asturias, and the rest, conquered land."
