CATHEDRAL OF TOLEDO
interi1.jpg (14001 bytes) Toledo Cathedral is one of the largest in the Christian world. As far as Gothic is concerned, it is surpassed only by the cathedrals of Seville and Milan. It has five naves, but its transept does not project outwards, as is the case of Notre Dame of Paris and Bourges Cathedral.

Toledo Cathedral, 120 metres long and 59 wide, must be viewed from the interior, where its grandeur may be appreciated, as the narrow streets of Toledo do not afford a sufflciently broad perspective of its exterior. The roof; which in the central nave reaches a height of 44.50 metres, is held up by 88 columns. The Cathedral receives its light through more than 750 stained glass windows, from the l4th, 15 th and l6th centuries, the work of the best artists of those times.
