"Holy Toledo!"

Toledo was once the capital of Spain, and as such was also the religious center. We visited the Catedral de Toledo (left) on our first morning here. The original cathedral was destroyed in the 13th century and this Gothic cathedral was buil on its foundations. We marveled at the immense paintings, interesting religious and pagan art and sculptures, fresco, and incredible architecture. It felt more like a museum than a place of worship.
