Beside the main altar the most impressive item was the silver and gold Monstrance of Arfe that gets paraded around Toledo during the Corpus Christi procession. We spent an hour wandering around. 12 euros general admission 8 euros for seniors. This is the must see attraction in Toledo.

Fun fact: The bell tower of Toledo's Cathedral leans slightly to one side. Yep, that majestic Gothic spire is giving off subtle Pisa vibes. Historians think the tilt came from unstable ground or foundation settling over centuries. The clock on the tower was installed in the 18th century and has just one hand. Apparently, telling time precisely was optional when you had eternity to think about it.

So it didn't take us long, we were already on our way to this place. But the first time when we were here, the church was closed that day. So we checked the schedule and came back here the second time about 12:00. Finally, this time is opened. It was 2 euro for the admission free. It might only required to the tourist. It wasn't much anyway. Right after I walked in, I just saw this endless painting all over the wall inside. It wasn't much decoration or instruments inside the chruch. It was quite interesting, I also saw a painter, who was painting the paintings on the wall insde. We were there for awhile, Just looking and admiring the amazing works on wall. The church isn't so big, actually. But the painting does made it more interesting. It got Baroque style and it was designed by Pedro Sánchez. As it name already tell, this place is dedicated to St Antony of Padua. I think this sure is one of the unique places I have visited so far. It isn't as popular as other city attractions in Madrid. But it is worth to visit.
