During the seventh century, the city of Toledo, then royal seat of the Visigoth Kingdom, presented a large literary output production, in contrast to other European kingdoms. The scholarship reached both, members of the royal power and the Church. The subjects were mostly theological, but had included science, etymology and history. However, after the historical process of Islamic rule on the Iberian Peninsula, we find strengthening the power
and knowledge of the Christian kingdom of Castile under the leadership of King Alfonso X in the thirteenth century. Therefore, our article present an analysis of the relationship between culture and power along with the historical transformations of the Late Antiquity to the Middle Ages, that the Iberian city of Toledo build and left as memory for the future.
