Santiago del Arrabal is a 13th-century church in Toledo, Spain.
History
Construction of the church was commissioned by Sancho II and began between 1245 and 1247. It was built on the site of previous buildings, including a Visigothic structure and a later mosque whose use is documented from 1125.[1] Construction was paused in 1248, after Sancho's death, but resumed again under the patronage of the Diosdado family, members of the Order of Santiago. The church was heavily restored between 1958 and 1973 and much of its present appearance is due to this restoration.[1]
The church was constructed in Mudéjar style with influences from the Romanesque style of Castile. The freestanding bell-tower incorporated the remains of the former mosque's minaret.[1]
