Church of San Lorenzo, Toledo

Church of San Lorenzo, Toledo

The San Lorenzo is a church in Toledo, Spain. It was built on the site of a mosque dating from the first half of the 11th century[1] In 1121 the church is mentioned for the first time, as the Mozarabic parish church dedicated to San Lorenzo. In the 18th century the San Lorenzo was reconstructed on a large scale, but in 1936, due to a fire, reduced to ruins. Only the walls and the tower survived.
