Toledo Cathedral: Full-On Shots


Finally found the Square where it was possible to get full-on shots of Toledo Cathedral:


Just read that alongside the cathedrals in Burgos and Leon, Toledo Cathedral is one of the three High Gothic cathedrals in Spain:


Below there's a shot of a Mozarabic (Rite of) Mass from somewhere in Madrid.  Years ago, I read one of the Michael Davies Traditionalist Catholic booklets which, if my memory serves me right, associated Toledo with the Mozarabic Rite of Mass.  Just read that the latter dates back to the 7th century and was generally replaced by the Roman Rite of Mass in Spain in the late 11th century.


Couldn't go inside Toledo Cathedral properly during our quick trip, but I've just found the picture below on the Internet which is said to be of the Mozarabic chapel inside Toledo Cathedral:


And the Square where you can get full-on shots of Toledo Cathedral is also picturesque in-itself:




Can imagine that this place would be heaving with tourists during summer.
