Toledo'daki surlar ve kapılar

Fortifications and Gates

Toledo’s defensive landscape is defined by its strategic position above the Tagus River. This collection features the 10th-century Puerta de Alfonso VI, the city's oldest gate, and the monumental New Bisagra Gate with its imperial coat of arms. Highlights include the Alcázar, a Renaissance fortress housing a military museum, and the Mudéjar-style Puerta del Sol. These structures, ranging from medieval castles like San Servando to fortified towers like Torre de Alcántara, showcase the evolution of military architecture through Moorish and Christian eras.
