Panorama of Toledo Showcasing the Sublime Alcazar

Madrid is one of my favorite cities in the world.  When I find myself there, I enjoy embarking on at least one excursion outside of the city.   Toledo, a short train ride away, boasts a rich historical tapestry woven into its stunning architecture.  Climbing the bell tower at the Church of San Ildefonso is a must.  Here, the entire city unfolds before you in breathtaking panorama.  This piece features a view of the Alcazar against the backdrop of a milky white sky.  A former Roman palace, it was rebuilt and restored several times, most recently after experiencing significant damage during the Spanish Civil War.
