For those who may not know, the city of Toledo was named after a small town outside of Madrid, Spain. The Toledo Spain Plaza stands as a reminder of that link. This is a grassy area off Collingwood Avenue which actually resembles more of a median than a plaza. The plaza is located at the edge of the Historic West End neighborhood and is an excellent place for a leisurely walk or even a picnic.

It is a rarity when a city's history is as well preserved as it is at Toledo's Old West End Historic District which is located just outside of downtown and uptown. The district encompasses the area from the Toledo Museum of Art at Monroe Street up to Collins and Central, and from Glenwood Avenue to Collingwood Boulevard. In that remarkable space, there are several historic homes and mansions that still echo the city's marvelous past. Tours of these houses are available Saturdays and Sundays between 10am and 5pm.
