- Monastery of San Juan de los Reyes
The Monastery of San Juan de los Reyes is an impressive 15th century Franciscan monastery established in the center of the Jewish neighborhood of Toledo by Isabel and Fernando, the 15th-century Catholic monarchs of Spain. They chose Toledo as the home for this monastery because Toledo had been the capital of the ancient Visigoth Kingdom.
- Synagogue of Santa María la Blanca
The Synagogue of Santa María la Blanca was built in 1180 in the charming city of Toledo. This building is unique because it was built by Islamic builders in a Christian region for use by Jewish residents. Built by Moorish architects, it is considered today a fine example of both Mudéjar and Almohod architecture and style.
