Church of San Lorenzo, Toledo

The remains of the Iglesia de San Lorenzo

St Lawrence's Church (Spanish: Iglesia de San Lorenzo) is a ruined medieval church located in Toledo, Spain.

History

It was built on the site of a mosque.[1] In 1121 the church is mentioned for the first time, as one of the city's Mozarab parish churches.[citation needed] The building as it survives is later, but preserves some mudejar features.[2]

In the 18th century San Lorenzo was renovated, expanding it.

Conservation

In 1936, due to a fire, it was reduced to ruins. Today only the walls and the tower remain standing. They are protected by the heritage listing Bien de Interés Cultural.
