Youth Hostel

Youth Hostel

[ Mar.2014 ] In the map of Toledo, Spain, you can see a castle on the east side of the Tagus River.

So we decided to visit there.

From the river, we walked up the steep slope and arrived only to find that the castle was now a Youth Hostel.

Originally it was built as a monastery three years after Toledo became a part of the Christian Kingdom, and after that it was used as a fortress.

I do not know when it became a Youth Hostel.

It is nice to stay in a castle cheaply and the view of Toledo from there must be wonderful.

We could not enter there, though.

Beneath of this castle, there was a bridge called Alcantara, the oldest among the bridges here which was built originally in Roman era.
