Interesting building and grounds

Like others, I couldn't get into the building and there was no information on hours. But the outside and the grounds is interesting and it's close to the old Roman walled area so convenient for a quick look.

Impressive Building

The Archbishop Palace is located at Plaza del Palacio. It was built in the 13th century by Rodrigo Ximenez de Rada (hero of the Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa in 1212) as a palace-fortress to house the archbishops of Toledo until the 19th century....More
