Church of Santo
Tomé The Iglesia de Santo Tomé is a church located
in the historical center of the city of Toledo (Spain), and
was founded after the reconquest of this city by King Alfonso VI of León.[1]
It appears quoted in the 12th century, as constructed on the site of an old
mosque of the 11th century.[2]
This mosque, together with other mosques in the city, were used as Christian
churches without major changes, since in the taking of the city there was
no destruction of buildings. |
