Mosque of Christ of the Light (Mezquita Del Cristo De La Luz) Tours
As is the case with so many of Toledo’s sights, the Mosque of Christ of the Light (Mezquita del Cristo de la Luz) is a blend of cultural influences, telling the story of the city through its architecture. The mosque, considered the most important piece of Islamic art in Toledo, was built in 999 and, come the 12th century, was turned into a Catholic church.
What makes it particularly special is the fact that it is the only remaining mosque of ten that once existed in the city, and that it very much remains in its original state. Though the space is small, its grounds — from the small square interior with Moorish horseshoe arches, to the outside gardens with views of the city — transport visitors back some thousand years in time, making this a pretty special stop.

The mosque is located in the northern part of the city and is easily reachable from anywhere in the old quarter.
