Information about Toledo Province

Origins of Toledo Province

Toledo is located on a steep rock surrounded by the River Tagus, so it has a strategic defensive position that has favoured its occupation since the prehistory.

The first settlements date back to the Bronze Age and were located on Cerro del Bú, turning into a Carpetanian fortress since it was a transit point.

In 192 B.C. it was conquered by the Roman Empire and given the name Toletum. Afterwards, in the 5th century the Visigoths occupied the city, turning it into the capital and spreading their kingdom across the whole Iberian Peninsula.

In the 9th century it became the important Taifa Kingdom until 1085, and with the arrival of Alfonso VI in the city, it became Christian. Christians integrated the city in the Kingdom of Castile, turning it into the capital. At that time, a mixture of three cultures (Jewish, Muslim and Christian) was created.

From the 14th century onwards, multicultural tolerance started to gradually disappear, with the high point being the creation by Spain’s Catholic Monarchs of the Court of the Inquisition in 1485 and the Decree for the Expulsion of Jews in 1492.

In the 16th century, after the Revolt of Communities, the Emperor Carlos I of Spain and V of Germany turned the city into the centre of his empire. In 1561, the King Felipe II decided to transfer the court and the capital to Madrid, so the city lost a great deal of the political and social relevance it had enjoyed. Toledo turned into an almost exclusively conventual city and the religious orders were established in old palaces that were empty after the court was transferred to the new capital. Now, Toledo is the capital of the region of Castile La Mancha.
