Day Three : Toledo

On the trip from Madrid to Caceres, we passed Toledo, and saw some interesting places there. We went to Puerto del Sol, Toledo Cathedral, Alcazar, Toledo’s Town Hall, and el Greco’s Painting. Not much that I could tell from them, ‘coz they are near each other (we went on foot), and the architecture are using the same style.

On the other hand, El Greco’s painting is fabulous. I cannot recall the name, but it tells about the funeral of the city’s former major. If I am not mistaken, his name is De Orgaz. This painting is fresco, in other word, wall painting. That is why, the painting will never move out from this place. From the local guide, everyone will conclude, that Greco is a pure genius. He made the painting with a very high detail, natural color, and extremely high imagination, which is amazing. I could not write the history of the painting now, but later on, if I found the full history of the painting, I will post it here.
