Iglesia de San Lorenzo Mártir
Iglesia de San Lorenzo Mártir, Gothic church in Córdoba, Spain
The Iglesia de San Lorenzo Mártir is a Gothic church in Córdoba with three naves, a rectangular layout, and a prominent tower that was once a minaret from its earlier mosque foundation. The building combines different periods in its structure and shows how religious spaces overlapped across centuries.
The church was built between 1244 and 1300 during the transition from Romanesque to Gothic architecture in the region. It replaced an earlier mosque that had itself been built upon the ruins of a Visigothic church.
The church contains Italian Gothic paintings from the 14th century depicting scenes from Christ's life on its walls. These artworks shape how visitors experience the interior and show the religious artistic traditions of the time.
The church is located on Plaza de San Lorenzo and remains an active place of worship that can be visited regularly. Visitors interested in learning more can arrange guided tours through Córdoba's Tourist Office.
The building features an unusual triple porch beneath the main roof, a distinctive element rarely seen in other Andalusian churches of the same period. This architectural detail sets it apart from many contemporary structures in the region.
