The penultimate stop of our walking tour was in front of the Santo Tome church. It houses one of the famous paintings of Domenikos Theotokopoulos, better known as El Greco, his masterpiece The Burial of the Count of Orgaz! He painted it in 1586. The visit to this church was also not scheduled, but fortunately, the two of us saw the painting during our former visit to Toledo. Nevertheless, it would be interesting to visit the church...

The church is beautifully decorated and worth visiting, though the star attraction is El Greco's painting of the Burial of the Count of Orgaz. This was one of the few crowded places we visited in Toledo. I had to wait a few minutes for a large tour group to move on so I could study this painting carefully. Entrance is 4 euros, the better deal is to buy the tourist wristband for 12 euros, which allows you to visit 7 ecclesiastical attractions.

As churches go that we have visited in Europe, this was nice but if we had missed this one, that would not have been a great loss. The church is beautiful inside and relatively small. Our issue is that we visited this after having thoroughly being blown away by the Toledo Cathedral Primada. If you have time and a few euro’s to burn through, by all means visit. Enjoy.

We visited here as part of the day tour. I didn't know about El Greco's painting of the Burial of the Count of Orgaz beforehand, but our guide explained whilst we were there - it was great to hear about some of the people the painting depicts. The church itself is fairly standard / nothing special, but it's worth a visit for any art lover to see a 14th century painting.

I didn’t realize it until after we entered the church, but it contains the El Greco painting of the Burial of the Count of Orgaz. It was painted in 1586. Entry is included in the tourist bracelet for €12 to enter 7 ecclesiastical monuments in Toledo.

We were disappointed in not being able to see Santo Tome since it was closed. However we were not informed of that fact when we purchased our admission tickets. The main attraction was the painting of The Count of Orgaz by El Greco and it towered above us and the crypt of the Count himself. We were glad to at least be able to see El Greco’s most famous masterpiece but it would have been more satisfying seeing the rest of the church that we read so much about.

The Iglesia de Santo Tome is a gorgeous yellow church in the old city of Toledo. The church is known for the famous painting “Burial of the Count Orgaz” by El Greco. I highly recommend you stop by.

The star attraction of the St. Tome Church is the large painting of El Greco of the Burial of the Count of Orgaz. The painting was completed in 1586 and is striking in a number of ways. To fully appreciate the painting, you should have someone with knowledge of the painting and all its intricacies explain it to you. I'm not an El Greco fan, but this painting was unquestionably impressive.
