Toledo Cathedral, Toledo, Spain (1993)

            Toledo Cathedral (Primatial Cathedral of Saint Mary of Toledo) is a Roman Catholic church in Toledo, Spain. It is one of the best examples of Gothic architecture in Europe. It stand on the former Great Mosque of Toledo, which itself stands on a Visigothic church; this habit of building on top of previous pieces of architecture was a way of showing dominance and power over previous civilizations or rulings.

Construction took over 200 years (from 1226 to 1493). The main facade dates primarily from the early 15th century, with three fine Gothic portals (Portal of Forgiveness, in the centre, Portal of the Last Judgment, to the right, and Portal of Hell, to the left). Inside is a central nave with two aisles on either side, divided by 88 clustered pillars supporting the vaults. There are splendid 15th and 16th-century stained glass windows throughout, including two beautiful rose windows above the north and south doors. At the heart of the cathedral is the magnificent choir with wood stalls that feature 54 historical reliefs of scenes from the conquest of Granada in remarkable detail. Each seat shows the defeat of a village. One of El Greco’s most important paintings is here, as well as some by Goya.
