Its imposing image presides over the city form the highest point, once site of the Roman Praetorium, and later the abode of the Visigothic kings, and then the Al-Qasr fortress during the period of Muslim domination. This is the place where all the forts have been built since the Roman era. The present citadel is a reconstruction of the original building designed by the architects Covarrubias and Herrera for Charles V which was nearly destroyed by various fires and practically demolished during the Spanish Civil War of 1936. Of particular interest are the north facade, the large central courtyard, and the imperial staircase or staircase of honor. Extending from the eastern facade of the Alcazar, the oldest one with remains of the original castle, a terrace lookout allows us to see over the walls and offers a splendid view of the narrow valley the river Tajo forms while encircling the city. Down and to the left, we have the Alcantara bridge and the San Servando castle; opposite are the remains of the Artificio Juanelo, a curious 16th century device invented to bring water from the river to the fortress, and to the right, the bases of the pillars used to support an ancient Roman aqueduct long ago.\u000a\u000aAt the foot of the south facade of the Alcazar, and in one of the most labyrinthian corners of the city on the Calle San Miguel, is the Church of San Miguel, a Baroque church with 3 naves.

The Franciscan convent of La Concepcion is an institution devoted to religious seclusion. The Convent of Santa Fe forms a unit with the Hospital Museum of Santa Cruz, housing in some of its buildings the library and the archives of the Autonomous Community of Castilla-La Mancha. It contains the famous 11th century Caliphal-style Belen chapel, and the tomb of Fernan Perez, adorned with 13th century Moorish stalactite plasterwork. The Hospital of Santa Cruz, now a museum , dates from the early 19th century. It was founded by Cardinal Mendoza as a hospital with a view to centralizing the assistance to the city\u2019s orphaned and abandoned children under the patronage of Queen Isabella. Construction was begun by the Egas brothers and finished by Covarrubias in 1524, achieving one of the most brilliant examples of the Plateresque style and is the artist''s masterpiece. Particularly notable are the splendid main doorway, the three doorways of the vestibule, the noble cloister, and the imposing staircase connecting the two stories of the building. The museum is divided into three sections: the fine arts area with paintings by El Greco and others, the archeological section with Roman mosaics and other pieces, and a third devoted to decorative arts.\u000a\u000aAfter leaving the museum, to our right we find the Arco de la Sangre or Arch of Blood, a Moorish gate rebuilt after the Spanish Civil War.

It was built on top of a Muslim mosque, and before that it had been a church in the sixth century during the reign of the Visigoth King Recaredo. King San Fernando and the archbishop began building the new church in 1226, although the Cathedral was not finished until the end of the 15th century, undergoing numerous changes and additions after the completion of the building. As a result, although essentially Gothic in style, the Cathedral is an extraordinary structure where many different architectural styles and exceptional artists converge; artists such as Master Martin, Petrus Petri, Enrique Egas, Berruguete, Pedro and Juan Guas, Narciso Tome, Rodrigo Aleman, Villalpando and many others.\u000a\u000aThe building has a basilica ground plan with a central nave and double aisles. Although there are numerous outstanding elements, we will only name a few. All the exterior doors are handsome, but the most notable is the main doorway. On its main facade the outstanding feature is the doorway, made up of three doors: Infierno (Hell), Perd\u00f3n (Pardon) and Juicio (Judgement). Above the main door is a sculptural group depicting the Last Supper. Two towers add the finishing touches to the facade, one topped by a Flamboyant-Gothic spire and the other by a Gothic-Renaissance dome. In the interior we find the choir, set in the center of the main nave with magnificent carved choir stalls; the main chapel and the splendid Late Gothic high altar; the ambulatory, a model for other churches; the spectacular Baroque Transparente sculpture behind the high altar; and numerous smaller chapels, such as the Corpus Christi chapel, where they still celebrate mass according to ancient Mozarab rites; the chapels of San Iidefonso, Santiago and Reyes Nuevos, to mention a few. The Cathedral museum houses various paintings by Raphael, Rubens, Velazquez, Goya, Titian and others, in addition to one of the greatest paintings by El Greco, El Expolio (The Disrobing of Christ), as well as other works by the artist. Visitors can also see a collection of inimitable miniature codices, clerical vestments, and the Cathedral treasure which includes the famous processional monstrance by Arfe, a huge piece of precious metalwork decorated with 260 images and made of silver bathed in gold by Enrique de Arfe between 1517 and 1524. The treasure, at 2.5 meters high and weighing more than 160 kilos, takes the leading role in the procession of the Most Holy Corpus Christi, a festival declared of International Tourist Interest. |-4.0250422060489655,39.856759193907834,0,0,Almost directly in front of the Cathedral we see the Archbishop''s palace, an austere Renaissance building.
