What travelers say:

Toledo Sukdebel Square, formed during the Moorish rule (711 AD), is named after the Moorish language, meaning the market for livestock. During the Catholic reign (after 1065 AD), the square continued to play the role of the city center, usually a market, a bullring during celebrations, and used as a fire site when the inquisition was held in the Middle Ages. In October 1589, the square was destroyed by fire and has been rebuilt to this day. The square is an irregular quadrilateral, and the back of the stone chair in the square is embedded with colored porcelain prints - the illustrations in the novel "Don Quixote", which has a unique charm. The buildings around the square with arcades are scattered, and the restaurants and gift shops inside and outside the building are in scale. Buy and eat freely. The most important part of the square is the classic Moorish "Holy Blood Arch", which stands outside the bronze statue of Cervantes; Don Quixote rode a thin horse through the arch to begin his adventure. Tip: Sukdebel Square, a hub of public transportation in the ancient city, is moderately distanced from the main attractions, and has become a major tourist distribution center.
