Early-Islamic moat structure — built in 999 AD, one of the few mosques in Spain that remains largely unchanged from its original form

Façade features a Kufic inscription made entirely of brick, rare in both Western and Eastern Islamic architecture, linking the founder Ahmad ibn Hadidi and architect Musa ibn Ali

Nine-bay ribbed vault layout — the interior is organized into nine square compartments, each topped with a distinct dome.

A semi-circular apse added in the 12th century under Christian rule forms one of Spain’s earliest known mudéjar expansions to a mosque structure

Local tradition tells how King Alfonso VI discovered a hidden crucifix and maintained a vigil flame, leading to the mosque’s conversion into a chapel after Toledo's reconquest in 1085

Flexible and Independent Experience – Perfect for travelers who prefer freedom over group tours.

    Discover one of Toledo’s most remarkable architectural legacies of the Cristo de la Luz, originally the Mosque of Bab al‑Mardum, built in 999 AD during the Caliphate of Córdoba. This compact mosque is the only one of its kind to survive from the city's ten historic mosques, with much of the original structure intact. The building's square plan divides into nine vaulted compartments, each with uniquely ribbed ceilings, supported by four columns topped with Visigothic capitals. After the Christian reconquest, a Mudéjar-style apse and chapel were added, blending Islamic and Christian art traditions. Situated near Toledo’s Puerta del Sol, Cristo de la Luz offers a vivid glimpse into centuries of religious, architectural, and cultural continuity. The supplier will promptly send you an email with your entry ticket as soon as your reservation is confirmed. It is not possible to skip the security lines. There could be a line at the entrance and is mandatory for all visitors.
