I'm back from our two nights in the city of Toledo. It was beautiful. I saw some of the most amazing sights I've ever seen, especially the Catedral Primada de Toledo (also known as the Gothic Cathedral in Toledo). It is a huge Catholic cathedral that was built in the 13th century! I am no expert on architecture jargon, but it was probably the most incredible building I have ever been inside. There was so much art in every aspect of the building. Outside it looks like a castle, and the details inside are phenomenal. There are arches, pillars, sculptures within the walls, paintings, stained-glass windows, etc. The Sacristy had an amazing painting by Luca Giordano all along the ceiling. There were displays of historial artifacts, like old priest garments and kings' jewlery. There are even a few gravesites of some cardinals in the floor of the cathedral. My explanation doesn't do it much justice, and I'm running out of ways to describe it and words other than 'amazing,' 'incredible,' 'beautiful,' etc. :)
Photos were not allowed inside, but I took a few from the outside.
I have only been in Europe for a few days, but so far this is what I would say you have to see for yourself if you come to Spain.
