1. El Greco Museum
Located in the Jewish Quarter, the El Greco Museum stands out from the neighbourhood&#;s historic buildings with its modern green façade and black logo. The museum also consists of another building, a 16th-century house museum, located in the common courtyard and decorated in an attempt to recreate El Greco&#;s home, which no longer exists.
The combination of a modernist and an old building symbolises that the Museo del Greco is both looking backwards and forwards. The museum houses a collection of El Greco&#;s works, especially from his late period when he lived in Spain. You can see a series of portraits and the famous Vista y plano de Toledo (View and Plan of Toledo). Also of interest is the collection of some of El Greco&#;s pupils&#; works, where you can study how the pupils each tried in their own way to emulate the great master.
The 16th-century building was bought by the museum&#;s founder, Marquis De la Vega-Inclan, believing it to be the artist&#;s former home. Now the building is decorated as El Greco&#;s home is thought to have looked on the site where parts of his home probably stood.
In addition to works of art, you can see furniture from the period, fine ceramic bowls in the kitchen and ceramic tiles on th

The Baptism of Christ
The large canvas of the Baptism of Christ () is a work from one of the three altarpieces in the Chapel, a magnificent and personal compositional invention by El Greco, which was completed in superficial areas by his own son Jorge Manuel.
As is known, Pedro Salazar de Mendoza, the administrator of the Hospital Tavera, signed a contract with the old Greek artist on 16 November to make the main altarpiece and the side altarpieces of the chapel, dedicated, as is logical, to Saint John the Baptist, one of the major ensembles that are among his most outstanding works, even though the main altarpiece did not follow his designs in all their elements and the canvases intended were never placed on their respective retablistic machines. Of the 7, ducats that this work, to be completed in five years, would cost, when the dispute between the Hospital and the workshop arose in , it was established that El Greco and his son had been receiving different amounts until they had accumulated the enormous sum of more than 8, ducats.
No contract has survived concerning the canvases that were to decorate these three altarpieces; in the inventory of the estate of , at the death of Dominico Greco, it was indicated that the paintings in the hospital chapel had been started, and
