Alcázar de Toledo
Madrid south
A Roman fortress here since the 3rd century became a castle after Alfonso VI took Toledo in 1085, then a Renaissance palace when Charles V had it rebuilt from 1545 under architect Alonso de Covarrubias. Each of its four façades wears a different style, from Plateresque to Churrigueresque. In 1936 it withstood a 70-day Civil War siege under Colonel Moscardó, and today it houses the Army Museum.
