Alcázar

The finest building in Toledo is probably the Alcázar, which looms down from the city's highest hill. Archaeological evidence points to both a Roman and Islamic fortified position here; today, it's a tribute to the might of Carlos V, Spanish King and holding the title of Holy Roman Emperor, who ordered the construction of the royal castle in the 16th century.
