Toledo Cathedral. History and Art

En savoir plus sur le livre

You hold in your hands a short guide to Toledo cathedral. This is not just one more cathedral, like those you have already visited, but the most important monument and museum of the City of Toledo. It is in itself a summary and compendium of the art, traditions and legends of this magical city. This book mainly describes what is normally on view, although it does contain additional information on places which are more difficult to see. There is a popular saying which, in several different forms, describes the cathedral together with several of its sisters: "Pulchra Leonina, Fortis Abulensis, Dives Toletana, Sancta Ovetensis". Leon cathedral is pure, Avila's is strong, Toledo cathedral is rich and that of Oviedo is Holy.
