The tile panels, beautifully displayed in Spain Square in Seville, depict this significant event from the 11th century. The image transports us back to a time when the Iberian Peninsula was divided between Arab and Christian kingdoms. Alphonse VI, mounted on his majestic horse, leads his soldiers towards victory as they breach the city wall of Toledo. This conquest marked a turning point in history, symbolizing the expansion and territorial gains made by Castile. The vibrant colors used in these tile panels bring life to this historical scene, capturing our attention and imagination. Each detail is meticulously crafted, allowing us to appreciate both the artistry and historical significance behind it.
