Mosque sights in Toledo

  1. A

    Mezquita del Cristo de la Luz

    On the northern slopes of town you'll find a modest, yet beautiful, mosque, where architectural traces of Toledo's medieval Muslim conquerors are still in evidence. Built in the 10th century, it suffered the usual fate of being converted to a church (hence the religious frescoes), but the original vaulting and arches survived. The narrow, steep Calle del Cristo de la Luz continues via the Islamic-named Bab al-Mardum gate.
