Convento de Santo Domingo El Antiguo

Interesting monastery but I’m not sure it was worth the visit. The building itself is old and not well maintained, you can only see the crypt through a small hole in the floor, and although we went in the middle of the day we were the only ones there which gave an eerie feeling.

Don‘t waste your time The building is not well maintained and the amazing painting of Greco is not well presented ( no proper light etc)

Bought some incredibly tasty marzipan cookies here. The nun I spoke to knew some very basic English. You can only buy half a kilo minimum and one box of chocolote marzipan cost me 9 euros. It tasted so heavenly. I wish I had bought more boxes.

A short visit to enjoy a couple of El Greco originals in the site of his tomb.

The convent was closed when we got there, so this review is actually for the marzapan. The door says to ring the bell, which we did. After a few minutes, we heard a voice from behind a smaller wooden window, telling us to open it. We opened, and to our surprise we saw, not a person, but a sort of rotating shelf. We placed our order (the products available are written and pictured on the wall) and put our money on the shelf. The nun then spun the contraption, taking the money and giving us our marzapan! On top of the unique experience, the marzapan is delicious!

Cute little old (old) nuns selling nun made marzipan that was excellent... They get you for $3 entry fee too ... We didn't have the heart to say no to the chapel visit they were so excited to see us .. some famous guy is buried there who used to live in the town ... Go for the marzipan really ended up enjoying interacting with the penguins 🐧...a Highlight of the day.

Ourside ot the tourist traps, El Greko originals and his grave. Super friendly nuns that makes the best marzipan and cookies in Toledo old city.
