El Greco Museum

National museum devoted to El Greco in Toledo's Jewish Quarter, made up of a 16th-century house with a courtyard, an early 20th-century building and a garden. Its collection holds around twenty canvases by the Cretan painter, including the complete Apostolado series, View and Plan of Toledo, The Tears of St Peter and the portraits of the Covarrubias brothers, as well as the Altarpiece of San Bernardino on loan from the Prado. The tour is completed by the largest group of works gathered by his pupil Luis Tristán, period furniture and Talavera ceramics.
