Just simply love the woodwork, the gold embellishment, the statues and the immensity of the itnerior. Only problem was the poor lighting which made viewing of the treasures a little difficult.

Beside the cathedral this was...

After several visits to Toledo, I finally visited the Monastario and the church Saint John of Kings (San Juan de los Reyes) and was surprised at how beautiful it is.

I was very happy during my recent visit in March of 2011 to get a chance to visit the Monastery of San Juan de los Reyes. The gorgeous Gothic building invites one to sit and just gawk at the magnificence carved in stone. And then the lovely cloister is just so nice to spend time enjoying, especially on a sunny...

Found the exterior more interesting than the interior. The cloister and gargoyles were captivating.
