Iglesia de San Lorenzo Mártir, Gothic church in Córdoba, Spain

The San Lorenzo Church features three naves, a rectangular layout, and a prominent tower that was once a minaret from its earlier mosque foundation.

Built between 1244 and 1300 during the transition from Romanesque to Gothic architecture, this structure replaced a former mosque that stood upon Visigothic church ruins.

The church contains Italian Gothic paintings from the 14th century depicting seven scenes from the life of Christ in its apse section.

Located in Plaza de San Lorenzo, the church remains an active religious center and offers guided visits through the Tourist Office of Córdoba.

The church includes an unusual triple porch beneath the main roof, a feature rarely found in Andalusian religious architecture.
