The Alcázar

Toledo's Alcasar Castle, located at the highest point of the ancient city, the condescending castle, has a long history and a lot of fate. In the third century, a Roman palace was built; in the tenth century, Muslims conquered Toledo and built the ancient city's commanding heights as a fortress; In the eleventh century, Christianity recaptured Toledo and built a castle there; during the reign of Carlos I in the sixteenth century, the castle was converted into a royal palace. His successor, Philip II, moved to Madrid, and the castle lost its original status as a prison, barracks, workshops and army academy. During the Spanish Civil War, the castle was severely damaged in the war. After the war, Franco ordered the castle to be rebuilt and preserved as it was. The castle is now spectacular and still in the same state; the bottom of the castle has a few ruins left for memorial; the main body of the castle has become a military museum and library; On the top floor of the castle, 360° without dead ends will have a panoramic view of the ancient city.

Toledo Castle (Alcázar de Toledo) is a stone fortification located at the highest point of Toledo, Spain. It was used as a Roman palace in the 3rd century and was restored in the 1540s under Charles I and his son Philip II. After the siege of Alcaza during the Spanish Civil War from 1939 to 1957, much of the city was rebuilt.

Toledo's Alcasar Castle is located at the highest point of the old town, formerly a military fortress, now a museum and library. It was a bit late to go, the library was still open and free to enter. The cafe upstairs in the library has a nice view and you can see the whole city.

The castle stands at the highest point in Toledo, a magnificent fortification in the 13th century and ancient Roman palace. The Palace of Alcazar was rebuilt in the 16th century and the palace was built as soon as King Felipe II decided to move to Madrid. The castle, originally planned as a Spanish palace, is also used for other purposes, such as the royal prison, army barracks, silk workshops, etc. Now it is housed in the library and military museum of the Castilla-La Mancha Autonomous Region. Due to the limited time, we did not enter the military museum (estimated not understand), walked around the castle, feeling beautiful from any angle.

Toledo's Alcasar Castle is the highest point in the entire ancient city, it is a symbol of the royal land and rights of royal personnel, so it is also known as the palace. When we went, the castle was not open to the outside world, and it was a pity that we could only see the appearance. But when the small train took us to another mountain outside the city to see the whole city of Toledo, because the ancient city has no modern architecture, the castle is still so magnificent!

Spain, Toledo... Alcaqisar Castle, the majestic castle is located on the commanding heights of Toledo, the palace of King Carlos V in the middle of the 16th century. The castle is square, with four square spire towers at four corners, and the towers are very visible. For centuries, the castle has carved the history of the Spanish nation. The three-year civil war that erupted in 1936, which was one of the important battlefields, has been vaguely discernible around the castle. We live in the Alfonso VI Hotel on the edge.
