Hospital de Santa Cruz, Renaissance museum in historic Toledo, Spain

The Hospital de Santa Cruz features a Greek cross layout with four courtyards, two fully constructed, and contains sections for archaeology, fine arts, and decorative arts.

Cardinal Pedro González de Mendoza founded this institution in 1494 to assist orphaned children, with construction completed in two phases between 1504 and 1535.

The museum displays provincial artifacts, archaeological findings, and paintings by El Greco, representing the artistic heritage of the Toledo region.

The Fine Arts collection occupies the first and second floors, while archaeological exhibits are located in the Noble Cloister and underground level.

The building's Plateresque portal, designed by Alonso de Covarrubias, combines Moorish traditions with Flemish artistic elements in its decorative details.
