Museo de El Greco (El Greco Museum)

Museo de El Greco (El Greco Museum) Review

This house that once belonged to Peter the Cruel's treasurer, Samuel Levi, is said to have later been El Greco's home, though there's little historical evidence to prove the artist lived here. Nevertheless, the interior is decorated to resemble a "typical" house of El Greco's time. Reopened in 2011 after massive renovations, the house has been incorporated into a revamped El Greco museum with several of the artist's paintings, including a panorama of Toledo with the Hospital of Tavera in the foreground, and works of several other 16th- and 17th-century artists. The impressive museum complex also includes medieval caves excavated at the site and a beautiful garden in which to take refuge from Toledo's often scorching summer heat.
