A cool statue in Toledo


Toledo is quite small, and generally surrounded by a tall city wall. Near the gate on the outer edge of the town is a statue of the old emperor. There are other sites close by that we hit up, including the giant cathedral (back a few posts) and the Santa Cruz museum, which has a lot of art from El Greco. We studied him in Spanish class back in high school, and his paintings are characterized by really long fingers and pale, almost ghoulish skin tones. Anyway, here's a cool picture of the emperor's statue near the gate.
