Ticket Nº 61781.

The Cuevas de Hércules (Cave of Hercules) is a subterranean vaulted space dating back to Roman times located in the Callejón de San Ginés in the city of Toledo. The cave is under a building located where the Church of San Ginés, stood until 1841. The structure was likely constructed in the time of the Roman Empire, probably towards the second half of the 1st century. It appears to have been a water reservoir supplied via the aqueduct bridge which brought water across the River Tagus.
