Toledo Cathedral

Toledo Cathedral is a cathedral in Toledo, Castilla-La Mancha, Spain, significant for its religious history and cultural heritage. Spain’s primatial cathedral and one of the country’s foremost Gothic religious monuments. Construction of the present Gothic cathedral began in 1226 and continued for centuries, with the main Gothic fabric substantially complete by the late 15th century.

It occupies a site associated with earlier Christian worship and, during the Islamic period, the city’s principal mosque. Later chapels and artistic campaigns added Renaissance and Baroque layers. Architecturally, the site is characterised by high gothic with mudéjar, renaissance, baroque and later works.

Primatial cathedral of Spain and a principal monument of historic Toledo. Its wider heritage context is recognised through Within the Historic City of Toledo — UNESCO World Heritage Site (1986). Religious use and pilgrimage at the site include Mass and prayer.
