Sacristia is an art gallery — El Greco, Velázquez, Caravaggio, Titian all in one room

Toledo's illustrious cathedral ranks among the top 10 cathedrals in Spain. An impressive example of medieval Gothic architecture with ribbed vaults, flying buttresses and pointed arches. The sacristy is a veritable art gallery with works by El Greco, Zurbarán, Caravaggio, Titian, Raphael and Velázquez. The extraordinary Custodia de Arfe — 18kg of pure gold and 183kg of silver — is paraded through the streets on Corpus Christi.
