Explorar Toledo

The El Greco Museum is a national museum in Toledo's Jewish quarter, opened in 1911 by the Marquis of Vega-Inclán in a house and garden rebuilt on 16th-century foundations, though not the painter's own home. It shows works by El Greco and his workshop, including the View and Plan of Toledo and an Apostolado series of Christ and the apostles.

The Synagogue of El Tránsito was built in the Mudéjar style in 1357 for Samuel ha-Levi, treasurer to King Peter of Castile. Its prayer hall keeps carved stucco friezes with Hebrew inscriptions, a wooden coffered ceiling and a women's gallery, and since 1964 the building has housed the Sephardic Museum, a national museum of Jewish heritage in Spain.

The Museum of Santa Cruz occupies the Hospital de Santa Cruz, founded by Cardinal Pedro González de Mendoza and built in the early 16th century on a Greek-cross plan, with a Plateresque portal and a cloister staircase by Alonso de Covarrubias. Its collections cover archaeology, fine art and decorative arts from the province of Toledo.
