The focus of religious life in the city, Toledo Cathedral (at left) forms one side of Ayuntamiento Square. Part of the cupola was designed by El Greco's son. In the 15th century Toledo's archbishop, described by an observer as 'more like a pope than a prelate,' presided over an archdiocese that incorporated most of central Spain. Today's archbishop remains the primate of Spain's Roman Catholic Church.
