Mezquita de las Tornerías, Historic mosque in Toledo, Spain.
The Mezquita de las Tornerías features a rectangular floor plan with three naves supported by Roman-style arches, displaying horseshoe arches and barrel vaults throughout its interior spaces.
Built in the second half of the 11th century over Roman water reservoirs, this mosque maintained Islamic worship until the Catholic Monarchs secularized it between 1498 and 1505.
This monument reflects the multicultural heritage of medieval Toledo, showcasing the coexistence of Islamic, Christian, and Roman architectural elements within a single structure.
Located on Tornerías street in Toledo's historic center, the building currently houses the Foundation for Craft Promotion and offers temporary exhibitions about local artisanal traditions.
The mosque stands on two levels due to ground elevation differences, with access from Plaza del Solarejo at street level and from Tornerías street at the lower level.
