The church is like many of the city's monuments in the Mudejar style; built in the 12th century above an old mosque. In the 14th century the condition was so bad that Count Orgaz paid for a renovation adding Gothic style. He is therefore the great benefactor of the church and his burial is immortalized in the painting by El Greco. The church is not just this painting - but it still remains the greatest asset. In terms of churches it is difficult in Toledo to surpass the cathedral.

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.
