Having walked into Toledo from the train station, this was the first attraction we came upon, we enjoyed our visit to this museum, and its free. This 16th century building which once was a hospital now houses a small collection of artifacts, tapestries and paintings, including Spanish artist El Greco. While there make sure to admire the architecture of this... More

This was worth a quick visit. Don't expect a lot of displays. The building itself is the attraction. More

A great selection of Grecco paintings await you in this small but well curated museum. Definitely worth the trip. Don't miss having lunch at Bar Restaurante Santa Fe just around the corner. A three course meal for 10 Euros that is quite delicious. More

You need some time, some 90' at least. You will find a lot of information about Toledo and Spain, from pre-historical times to the 18th century. Some very good pictures. A pleasure to visit. More

The building is from the 16th century and one can see the patio, where there is Roman statuary. El Greco's Assumption of the Virgin is the most famous painting in the museum, which also has many other... More

This museum is free! That is a good start, but then you go inside and realize what a delightful couple of hours you have just spent. The museum is a historical survey of the city of Toledo. From Roman times through to the 19th century. Presumably there is a contemporary art museum somewhere else in town. Bits and pieces of... More

This Museum is right next to Zocodover square, and it is well worth visiting. It is a superbly elegant Renaissance building, with a lovely courtyard, great wooden ceilings, and a wonderful display of artifacts and works of art from Toledo displayed in chronological sequence. The upper floor contains the Arqueological, Medieval and Renaissance sections, and the lower floor is dedicated... More
