Toledo Cathedral, Gothic cathedral in Toledo, Spain

The five-nave stone cathedral extends 120 meters in length and 59 meters in width, reaching a height of 92 meters at its highest point.

Construction of the cathedral began in 1226 under King Ferdinand III, replacing a former mosque, with architect Petrus Petri leading the design and building process.

The cathedral's sacristy functions as an art gallery, displaying masterpieces by Spanish painters including El Greco, Velázquez, and Goya in its collection.

The cathedral provides guided tours through its extensive complex, featuring access to the bell tower, cloisters, museum, and numerous ornate chapels throughout the structure.

The cathedral maintains the Mozarabic Rite, a 6th-century liturgical tradition celebrated daily in the Mozarabic Chapel, preserving this ancient form of Christian worship.
