Toledo, Medieval city in central Spain.

The ancient city stands on a granite hill, encircled by the Tagus River, with defensive walls containing multiple gates from different periods.

The city served as the Spanish capital until 1561, when Philip II relocated the royal court to Madrid, transforming its political significance.

The 13th-century Gothic Cathedral exhibits architectural elements from multiple periods, including a treasury containing manuscripts and religious artifacts.

The train station connects to Madrid in 30 minutes through high-speed rail service, with multiple departures scheduled throughout the day.

Local metalworkers maintain the traditional methods of steel forging, creating swords and damascene pieces with gold inlay decorations.
