Visit - Toledo Cathedral description

The TOLEDO CATHEDRAL chapter welcomes you to the CATEDRAL PRIMADA, one of the main heritage treasures of the world, "the DIVES TOLEDANA".

The Cathedral that you are now visiting stands in the same place that housed the first religious temple of the city in Roman times, and the later Visigothic basilica.

The same place where for 300 years the Muslims built their great mosque “aljama”, and which was once again readapted and consecrated to Christian worship in the year 1086.

The same place where two years later it received the title of “Catedral Primada”, for belonging to the first diocese of the former Kingdom of Spain.
Although the works on its current Gothic factory did not begin until 1227, under the archbishopric of Don Rodrigo Jiménez de Rada and the reign of Fernando III the Saint.

Since then it has been considered one of the main heritage treasures of the world, the rich Toledo "the DIVES TOLEDANA".
