This is a picture of La Catedral Primada in Toledo, Spain. This was our first stop on our tour of Toledo, and I must say, it was pretty hard to top. The interior of the Cathedral was absolutely gorgeous. Enormous gothic arches, elaborate chapels, and spectacular paintings successfully made me speechless. When the Visigoths conquered Spain in the fifth century AD, they made the capital Toledo and built the Cathedral. During the rule of the Visigoths, this was the first time in the history of the Iberian Peninsula that Spain had been united under both the same ruler and the same religion- Christianity. Christianity came to the peninsula in the first century when the Romans finally conquered the peninsula after hundreds of years of battles. The reason that Christianity persisted after the collapse of the Roman Empire is because the Visigoths converted to the monotheistic religion. Along with Christianity, the only other things that remained after the Roman collapse were Roman laws and the language. Walking through the city, you really get a sense of being in a city straight out of the middle ages. I never get tired of visiting cities with cobble stone roads and breathtaking landscape.
