The Casa Museo del Greco in Toledo is housed within a palace that dates back to the 12th century and originally belonged to Samuel Levi, a Jewish treasurer for King Pedro the Cruel. Later, it came into the possession of the Marquis of Villena, a chemistry enthusiast.

From 1585 until his death in 1614, the renowned artist Doménico Theotocópouli, better known as El Greco, resided in this house. The building, with its simple yet noble appearance, showcases a typically Toledo-style architecture that reflects its Mudéjar origins.

The entrance of the house features a linteled doorway and is adorned with a Renaissance pediment, semi-circular and nestled between Corinthian columns topped with flamers. A brick staircase leads to the first patio.

The interior courtyard, known as an impluvium, features a tiled floor and an azulejo-adorned base, along with a Mudéjar-style door leading to the rooms of the residence.

Descending the main staircase, we find the Casa de Melibea on our right. It is believed that this house was once inhabited by Bachelor Fernando de Rojas, the author of the renowned work "La Celestina" or "Tragicomedy of Calixto and Melibea."

The Casa Museo del Greco not only offers a glimpse into the life of the famous painter but also provides an opportunity to explore the historical and cultural heritage of Toledo, including the literary connections associated with the Casa de Melibea.
