Albert Calvert surveys Toledo, the city on its rock above the Tagus, through its long succession of masters: Romans, Visigothic kings, Moorish rulers and the Castilian monarchy that made it a capital. Chapters on its buildings, its great cathedral, its slow decline and the painter El Greco, who worked there, complete the portrait.
A handsome introduction to one of Europe’s most storied cities, for travellers and lovers of Spanish history and art. Download the free EPUB.
