Toledo

Toledo is one of the most important centers of european medieval history. The first one to report about it was Roman author Titus Livius, who describes it as a 'small fortificated town', and fortification has always been an important parameter in its history, still evident to today's tourist for the monumental walls around, and the 'Swords of Toledo' gave to its steel-production world-wide fame. It was capital of Spain from the Gothic epoch until 1560, fact that explains its really impressive medieval architecture. El Greco lived in Toledo 1577 - 1614, one of his painting can be seen in the church Santo Tomé.
