It boasts a coffered wooden ceiling, Plateresque altars, and an altarpiece from the Berruguete school.
- Iglesia de San Ildefonso Jesuitas - The Iglesia de San Ildefonso is a Baroque-style church situated in the heart of Toledo’s historic city center in Castile-La Mancha, Spain. Also known as the Jesuit church, it is dedicated to Saint Ildefonso of Toledo, the city’s patron and a Church Father. Its construction spanned over a century, beginning in 1629 on land acquired by the Jesuits of Toledo in 1569. The site was once home to Juan Hurtado de Mendoza Rojas y Guzmán, Count of Orgaz. It is the birthplace of Saint Ildefonsus. Pedro and Estefanía Manrique, members of the high Castilian nobility, were the temple’s patrons.
- Iglesia de Santo Tome - The parish church likely originated after the Christian Reconquista of the city by Alfonso VI in 1085, with the earliest record of its existence dating back to 1142. From the original Mudejar building, it retains the large multifoil arch above the main arch that separates the main nave from the presbytery, along with the sturdy buttresses of this section of the nave and a small trefoil arch on a brick frieze arranged in Mudejar style that remains in the upper part of what was once the semicircular sanctuary of the original single-nave church.
- Monastery of San Juan de los Reyes - This monastery was established by King Ferdinand II of Aragon and Queen Isabella I of Castile to celebrate both the birth of their son, Prince John, and their triumph at the Battle of Toro (1476) against the forces of Afonso V of Portugal.
Toledo was selected as the location for the monastery due to its central geographic position and its historical significance as the capital of the ancient Visigoth kingdom, symbolically restored by Isabella and Ferdinand through the unification of Castile and Aragon, reestablishing Spain’s lost unity.
- Mosque of Christ of the Light - The Mosque of Cristo de la Luz is a former mosque in Toledo, Spain. It is one of the ten mosques that existed in the city during the Moorish era. Originally known as Mezquita Bab-al-Mardum, it derived its name from the city gate Bab al-Mardum. It is located near the Puerta del Sol, in an area once known as Medina, where affluent Muslims resided.
- Iglesia del Salvador - Despite its small size, this church is remarkable, having been the site of four successive constructions, each built upon the previous one. It is a 12th-century church erected on an 11th-century Taifa mosque, which was an expansion of a 9th-century Umayyad mosque, itself built on a Visigothic religious structure. These civilizations also reused elements from the 2nd-century Roman period.
