Alcázar de Toledo
Castle · Madrid south
Checked
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.
From Wikipedia
The Alcázar of Toledo (Spanish: Alcázar de Toledo, IPA: [alˈkaθaɾ ðe toˈleðo]) is a stone fortification located in the highest part of Toledo, Spain. It is a large quadrangular building measuring 60 meters on a side, framed by four large towers 60 meters high, each crowned by the typical Madrid spire. Most of the building was rebuilt between 1939 and 1957 after the siege of the Alcázar during the Spanish Civil War.
