Subterranean Toledo

Another large part of the Toledo underground is the Roman, Arabic, and Judaic baths.

There are also the reconstructed Roman baths of the Plaza de Amador de los Ríos,[1] and finally underneath a house in the Jewish Quarter there is thought to be a mikveh, for purification baths – for which naturally running water was needed.

[2] The "cementerio general de la Vega Baja” was first built in part to accommodate for the massive increase in the death toll from cholera.

[3] Outside of the old Hospital de la Misericordia there was a cemetery that began as a burial place for all who died at the hospital, but when cholera hit, it quickly became a cemetery strictly for the nuns who lived and died there.

[5] In 2008, a previously undiscovered Jewish cemetery was found during a routine archeological excavation that always takes place before new construction begins.
