The Archdiocese of Toledo (Latin : Archidioecesis Metropolitae Toletana) is a Latin Church archdiocese of the Catholic Church located in Spain. [6] [1] They are also the Primates of Spain. It was, according to tradition established in the 1st century by James the Great and was elevated to an archdiocese in 313 after the Edict of Milan. The incumbent Metropolitan Archbishop also bears the title Primate of Spain and since 1937 the title General Vicar of the Armies (but the pastoral care for the Spanish armed forces is now provided, since 1986, by the Military Archbishopric of Spain)
