Museo de Santa Cruz

Reviewed By pats284

This is a spacious and well set-out museum, once a hospital. Set out in the form of a large cross, each section takes you through a period of Spanish history, with associated art-works, paintings, sculpures, etc. It has several paintings by El Greco / the El Greco school. You can also visit the central patio and there is a permanent exhibition upstairs of pottery from the Iberian pensinsula. |t's a bit hard to find, down the steps and turn left past the statue at Zocodover Sq. The building itslf is beautiful.

Iglesia de Santo Tome

Reviewed By jonahNJ - Pennington, United States

Perhaps the most breathtaking moment for me during my exploration of Toledo, Spain was when I entered the St. Tome Church and initially saw El Greco’s masterpiece, El Entierro del Conde de Orgaz, also known as The Burial of the Count of Orgaz. The church itself, which dates back to the 12th Century is relatively small when compared to the numerous cathedrals I visited during my journey through Spain. This is not surprising after I learned that the church was built on the site of an old mosque. In fact, the gorgeous squared tower was the old minaret that was converted to a bell tower. However, the main draw for the church today is to view The Burial of the Count of Orgaz. No photographs are allowed inside of the church. The standing only viewing area was packed during my visit and I imagine this is the usual crowd size. However, the room has great views from every vantage point and the visitors seem to flow in and out smoothly. The painting itself is huge and the very vivid colors portray a death on the earthly plane and an image of heaven above. There is much to see in this painting, but not enough time in the St. Tome Church.
