Army Museum, Military museum in Toledo's Alcazar, Spain
The Army Museum is a military museum housed in Toledo's Alcazar fortress, displaying collections spanning the 19th century to the present day. The exhibition extends across two connected sections and presents weapons, uniforms, documents, and military equipment from different periods.
The museum was founded in 1803 as a royal military collection in Madrid's Palacio de Monteleón. It relocated to the Alcazar fortress in Toledo in 2010, where it operates today.
The museum sits within the Alcazar fortress, a structure that defines Toledo's skyline. Visitors can observe how Spanish military traditions across centuries are reflected through weapons, uniforms, and personal objects on display.
A daytime visit is best since the exhibition makes use of natural lighting throughout the space. The fortress spans multiple levels, so comfortable walking shoes are advisable.
The collection holds a modified 1930s Enigma machine that came from Nazi Germany. Also on display is the sword of the Moorish commander Muhammad XII from the Battle of Lucena.
