Alcázar of Toledo, Military fortress in Toledo, Spain.
The Alcázar of Toledo is a fortress in the center of the city of the same name in Spain. The stone building has four corner towers and rectangular walls surrounding the Tagus valley.
The fortress was built on Roman foundations and extensively rebuilt in the 16th century under Emperor Charles V. Later renovations followed damage during the Civil War in the 20th century.
The name comes from the Arabic word al-qaṣr, meaning palace or fortress. Today the halls house the Army Museum with weapons, uniforms and flags from different centuries.
Visits are possible from Tuesday to Sunday between 10 AM and 5 PM, with free entry for students and visitors under 18. An elevator makes access to the upper floors easier.
The regional library of Castile-La Mancha inside the building preserves more than 300,000 volumes. It is one of the largest public collections in the region.
