Toledo Cathedral • Section 1 of 5

Welcome to the heart of Spanish history. You are standing before the Primatial Cathedral of Saint Mary, a mountain of stone and spirit that has anchored the city of Toledo for eight centuries. Imagine the scene on that August day in the year twelve hundred and twenty-six, when King Ferdinand the Third and Archbishop Rodrigo Jiménez de Rada laid the very first stone. You are about to explore a masterpiece often called the Dives Toletana, or the Rich Toledan, not just for its physical wealth, but for its role as the primary seat of the Catholic Church in Spain. As you look around, notice how the building seems to tell a story of layers; it stands on the foundations of a seventh-century Visigothic church and a later Great Mosque, representing the complex cultural blending that defines Toledo.
