This interesting photograph was taken by Robert Y. in Toledo, Esp. Toledo (Latin: Toletum) is a municipality located in central Spain, 70 km south of Madrid. It is the capital of the province of Toledo and of 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 as one of the former capitals of the Spanish Empire and place of coexistence of Christian, Jewish and Moorish cultures. Many famous people and artists were born or lived in Toledo, including Al-Zarqali, Garcilaso de la Vega, Eleanor of Toledo , Alfonso X and El Greco. It was also the place of important historic events such as the Visigothic Councils of Toledo. As of 2007, the city has a population of 78,618 and an area of 232.1 km2 (89.59 square miles).
The website from this hotel says:
A traditional and emblematic hotel located in the heart of the baroque and neoclassic old town, opposite the Alcázar, 2 minutes walk from the cathedral and the Plaza de Zocodover.
Due to its central location, within 50 meters of the Plaza de Zocodover, and sharing ownership with the Carlos V hotel across from the Alcazar of Toledo) it offers all its guests an ideal starting point for visiting the Imperial City.
