National Monument

Crossing the Alcántara Bridge from the old part of Toledo, we find ourselves in the San Servando Castle. The castle is a fortress of the 14th Century built over a previous Muslim castle, whose foundations still remain in place.

This Muslim castle was built over a Visigoth church, and this one over a Roman fortress…of all these “states” there are remains in the mortar and structure that let us imagine the strategic importance of the castle’s enclave.

As years went by, the castle became the property of the king in order to defend Toledo, but in the 19th Century one of its walls sank and it was destined to be a gunpowder warehouse. It was almost sold for 3000 pesetas (about 18 Euros), but fortunately it was declared National Monument.

It can now be visited when previously scheduled and the most fascinating part is that a part of the castle has become a REAJ guesthouse! I haven’t slept there yet, but I think it must be a unique (and cheap) experience. Who has never dreamed of sleeping in a castle?

Weekend in Toledo

It is a well located castle next to the Alcántara Bridge. It is well preserved and has nice views of the Alcázar, the Alcántara Bridge and of the river.

By night the castle is illuminated. It is a youth guesthouse with a cafeteria. The room we stayed in was spacious and had a bathroom inside. We liked the experience. It was cheap and cozy.

for working groups, the rooms are very well although some modern projector is missing

Muy buen sitio.

Excellent

Vistas increíbles, sitio limpio, gente muy amable en recepción y las comidas y cenas, aunque no había donde elegir estaba muy bueno. Para grupos de trabajo las salas están muy bien aunque se echa en falta algún proyector moderno.

Muito bonito o toque medieval de tudo, a cidade é linda e inspiradora. Acabei de voltar, e na primavera é muito quente, então levem muita água e aproveitem o passeio.
