m1.jpgToledo’s history is closely associated with the Visigoths who established their court and Religious Councils here and made the city their capital in Spain. The museum’s collections document the Visigoth presence in Toledo. It is housed in the beautiful thirteenth-century Mudajar church of San Roman. The church was probably built on the ruins of an earlier mosque, which in turn was built on the site of a Visigoth church. Different architectural styles are combined in this cultural mixture and you’ll find Islamic horseshoe arches balanced on columns with Visigoth capitals.
