Museum of Santa Cruz
About This Museum
What I adore about the Museum of Santa Cruz is its incredible setting—it's an art museum housed within a breathtaking medieval hospital. Stepping inside feels like a journey through time, where you can admire the serene Renaissance courtyard one moment and stand before a powerful, soulful painting by El Greco the next. The layers of history are palpable here, with Roman mosaics underfoot and magnificent Plateresque architecture soaring overhead. It’s a truly special place where art and history are woven seamlessly together.
Collection Highlights
You absolutely must see the collection of El Greco's works, which feel right at home in Toledo, alongside the fascinating Roman archaeological finds like intricate mosaics and stone sarcophagi.
Visitor Information
Don't rush through the main staircase—it's a masterpiece itself! The courtyard is a perfect spot to pause and take it all in.
Architecture & Building
A stunning example of Spanish Renaissance (Plateresque) design, built on a classic Greek cross plan, all within the historic walls of a 16th-century hospital.
