Nestled a bit on the outskirts of the humongous Madrid city is the small town of Toledo. The town maybe small but historically it's significance is massive. It was at one point the capital of whole of Spain i.e. , between 542 to 725 AD ,Toledo was the capital of Spain when the Visigothic kingdom was ruling. The small township has been declared a Unesco world heritage site since the 1980's. It is known as the city of 3 cultures as it has been influenced by Christians, Jews and Muslims. Toledo is built on the Tagus river and even as of today the anchient buildings remain intact , standing tall as a reminder of the years of history that influenced this town.
