Viewpoint on San Servando Castle
This point of interest is available as audio on the tour: Visit Toledo, A gem by the Tagus River
The Alcántara Bridge also offers a lovely view on the Castle of San Servando, which rises on the opposite bank. Originally built on the ruins of an Arab fortress, it was initially intended to serve as a monastery dedicated to Saints Servando and Germano. However, given its strategic location near the Alcántara Bridge—an important crossing over the Tagus River—it was soon converted into a military fortress, ideally positioned to help defend the city. If you go check out the castle, you’ll discover a fine example of mudéjar military architecture, along with stunning views over Toledo.
