Bello lugar que merece la pena visitar y detenerse en cada paso para descubrir los secretos que contiene semejante sitio. Y aunque son 131 escalones el subir a sus cúpulas y observar Toledo desde allá arriba. Sin embargo me sorprendió lo fácil y accesible que sería usar algunos puntos del edificio con intenciones autolíticas, como ocurre en Salamanca en La Clerecía con cierta frecuencia.... Por desgracia. De todas formas, no puedes irte de Toledo sin haber subido y disfrutado de estar allí arriba. 🤗👏

Preciosa. Los 4 euros que cuesta los vale de largo. La iglesia es muy bonita, llena de arte, y poder subir a las torres y admirar esas vistas ya es la guinda.
