Palacio Tavera - Museo de Lerma, Toledo

This museum, within a 16th century palace, is unusual because it is still inhabited. Furniture and decor date from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and there are also some fine paintings, including works by El Greco, Ribera and Tintoretto. National Historic Archive records to do with the aristocracy are also housed here. Be patient if the door is not answered immediately. The occupants may have popped down to the shops or be showing other visitors around.
