El Greco Museum

It was built by the Marqués de la Vega Inclán, over the foundations of a Renaissance palace located in the Toledo Jewish quarter.

It consists of two buildings: a house with courtyard from the XVI Century and an enlargement from the beginning of the XX Century which causes a garden.

This house-museum was not the authentic residence of El Greco, it faithfully reproduces a Toledo´ s mansion from the XVI Century; its furniture and artistic objects enrich and decorate it and together with the building structure, evoke the housing of that time. Inside, we can see objects and scenaries of that time such as twenty of his best known paintings which almost all of them belong to his last period of artistic activity, between 1600 and 1614, such as “Vista general de Toledo” or “Apostolado”, except for the splendid version of “Lagrimas de San Pedro” from the XVI Century in the upper floor, and other contemporary authors from the Toledo School, the Madrid School and Seville School from the XVII Century, in the ground floor.
