The Cathedral in Toledo is one of the most opulent Catholic churches in the world. Again, we weren't allowed to take photos inside...but I can attest to its grandiosity. Let's just say that there is gold everywhere. As my dad pointed out, if the gold in that church was removed and sold, there would be a lot less poverty and hunger in the world!
El Greco, the famous Greek artist who actually trained in Venice, spent his last 37 years in Toledo. The Santa Cruz Museum houses 15 El Greco paintings.
