The remains of the Iglesia de San Lorenzo

The Iglesia de San Lorenzo is a church located in Toledo, Spain. It was built on the site of a mosque dated to the first half of the 11th-century.[1] In 1121 the church is mentioned for the first time, as a Mozarab parish church dedicated to Saint Lawrence. In the 18th-century the San Lorenzo was renovated, expanding it.

In 1936, due to a fire, it was reduced to ruins. Today only the walls and the tower standing.
