Even though there's only one little mosque in Toledo, all the buildings in Toledo show strong Moorish influence in the architecture. The Church of San Roman, pictured here with the beautiful frescoes, is a good example. It looks like a mosque covered with paintings of apostles, but it was actually built from the start as a church. It now houses a boring Visigoth museum, but it's well worth seeing the church and ignoring the exhibits. The plainer arched building shown here is one of Toledo's two synagogues, which looks identical to a mosque. Actually Toledo's most famous church is Santo Tome, but that's just because of one El Greco's painting, his most famous. You'd have to really like the painting, because the church itself is ugly, so I didn't include a photo.

Just behind the Alcazar is the sixteenth century Hospital of Santa Cruz. As the name implies, it was originally built as a hospital, and a very pretty one at that. At the time medical theory held that the environment surrounding a patient was as important as the medical treatment being prescribed. That was probably true then, since medical treatment was pretty similar to exorcisms. It's now a museum, with no particular focus, but very interesting nonetheless. It's probably got the best collection of El Greco paintings in Toledo (probably Spain's most famous painter, who lived in Toledo). But it's also got a very good ceramics collection and lots of bits and pieces of Toledo culture, well worth a visit.
