a a SYNAGOGUE OF SANTA MARÍA LA BLANCA

The finest example of the Catholic leg- acy is the Gothic Cathedral of Santa María de Toledo . It is particularly nota- ble for the main façadewhich consists of three doorways: the doorway of Hell, of Forgiveness and of the Last Judgement. The cathedral houses a great treasure, the Sacred Processional Receptacle of Arfe, which plays a leading role in the traditional procession to celebrate the Santísimo Corpus Christi.

Your tour ends with a visit to the medie- val Alcázar or fortress. Behind its sturdy walls you'll find a military museum and one of the largest libraries in Spain. It also has a lookout point with magnifi- cent panoramic views over the Tagus River and the area surrounding the city.
