Toledo Alcazar

I vaguely recall the alcazar from my first visit in the 1960's when, if my memory serves me it was still more or less a heap of rubble. It's principal claim to fame was that it had stood out against the nasty Reds during the civil war despite threats to murder the fascist leader's son if they did not surrender. Shelled into oblivion, the valiant good guys sheltered in the basement with their families until the cavalry rode in to the rescue...or something like that. Now the basement is an army museum; I am (un)reliably informed that Toledo remains something of a right wing stronghold politically, unlike Segovia where they are rewriting "history by the losers" and erecting memorials to "all" the fallen. I just love a bit of revisionism...
