Romanesque Mudejar church

Spain Westward Journey ~ Zamora (Region) The Royal Church of San Lorenzo is the oldest Romanesque-Mudéjar church in Toro, and it contains some unexpected treasures. The layout is traditional for Romanesque-Mudéjar churches in the Toro region: a nave with a semicircular apse (polygonal on the outside), preceded by a straight-sided presbytery. It has a collar-shaped roof. Double brick arcades with single or double semicircular arches run around the entire perimeter of the church in various combinations. Of the three facades, the south is the most interesting, with six pointed figure-of-splayed arches. The classic lintel and pediment over the doorway are two other traditional elements of the Romanesque-Mudéjar style. Highlights of the interior include the 15th-century Gothic chapel, the altarpiece by Fernando Gállego (c. 1490), and the Late Gothic tombs of Pedro of Castile and Beatriz de Fonseca (late 15th century). #2024TravelReview #SpainTravel #Castile-León
