The Alcazar of Toledo at sunset
At the highest point in the city looms the foreboding Alcázar. It is a stone fortification once used as a Roman palace in the 3rd century, it was restored under Charles I and his son Philip II of Spain in the 1540s and rebuilt under Franco. It has been reopened as a vast military museum

The Alcazar of Toledo at sunset
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures the majestic beauty and historical significance of this iconic fortress. Perched atop the highest point in the city, the Alcazar stands as a testament to centuries of rich history and architectural grandeur. Originally built as a Roman palace in the 3rd century, it underwent extensive restoration during Charles I and Philip II's reigns in the 1540s before being rebuilt under Franco. In this print by Henryk Sadura, we witness the Alcazar bathed in warm hues of orange and gold as dusk settles over Toledo. The setting sun casts a mesmerizing glow on its ancient stone walls, creating an atmosphere that is both awe-inspiring and foreboding. Today, after serving various purposes throughout its existence, including military use and even acting as a prison during Spain's Civil War, the Alcazar has been transformed into an expansive military museum. Its vast halls now house artifacts that tell stories of battles fought within these very walls. Sadura's photograph not only showcases his exceptional talent for capturing breathtaking landscapes but also serves as a reminder of our collective past. It invites us to appreciate both the architectural marvels left behind by our ancestors and their enduring legacy that continues to shape our present-day world.
