Understand
Toledo is listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO and the entire city is considered a true open-air museum. The cohabitation for centuries of Christians, Jews and Arabs make it an example of tolerance, and the multitude of historical monuments make it a real gem of a city. It is also surrounded by walls pierced by several doors, which, due to their architectural beauty, are all worth a detour.
