Uno de los lugares turísticos más conocidos de Toledo es la Iglesia de San Ildefonso. Ello es debido a que, si subimos a la torre ( a las torres pues se puede pasar directamente de una a otra) tenemos las que dicen son las vistas más elevadas de la ciudad.
Como es habitual en estas torres estan protegidas con mallas para impedir la entrad de las palomas.
Su construcción se dilató por más de 150 años, siguiendo en su
planteamiento el modelo de Il Gesú de Roma, con su fachada de piedra
dotada de un gran ventanal y sobria decoración con columnas corintias de
orden gigante que enmarcan a modo de altar los nichos de los santos de
la Compañía. La advocación a San Ildefonso, obispo toledano en el siglo
VII se manifiesta en el relieve central de la "imposición de la casulla"
Restaurada recientemente, la iglesia está abierta al público y ofrece la
posibilidad de mirar cara a cara la esbelta torre de la Catedral y
abarcar la panorámica de toda la ciudad desde las dos anchas torres
dotadas de grandes vanos en sus cuatro costados.

Its construction was delayed for more than 150 years, following in his approach the model of Il Gesù in Rome, with its stone facade with a large window and simply decorated with giant order Corinthian columns framing as an altar niche Saints of the Company. The invocation of San Ildefonso, Toledo bishop in the seventh century is manifested in the central highlight of the "imposition of the chasuble"
Recently restored, the church is open to the public and offers the possibility to look against the slender tower of the cathedral and embrace the view of the entire city from the two large towers equipped with large openings on all four sides.
