Mandatory visit point in Toledo. The square is beautifully illumimated in the evening. It is surrounded mainly by the City Hall and the Saint Maria de Toledo Cathedral. Cathedral visit is also a strong point. Full of art (El Greco is well represented) and heavy deco in a classic Gothic architecture.
