|
| The Alcázar of Toledo is a stone fortification located in the highest part of Toledo, Spain. Once used as a Roman palace in the 3rd century, it was restored under Alfonso VI and Alfonso X and renovated in 1535. Under emperor Charles V, it is rebuilt once more, this time by architect Alonso de Covarrubias. One of the façades is in Renaissance style, while a second one is Plateresque. The third façade (east), on the other hand, is medieval, with crenelated towers and battlements, while the fourth is Churrigueresque, built following the designs of Juan de Herrera. Following its last restoration, this building went on to be the site of the Army Headquarters and Museum. |
