Toro - San Lorenzo el Real

Toro - San Lorenzo el Real
The town of Toro lies on a plateau above the Duero River about 40 km east of Zamora. In medieval times Toro had some importance. Ferdinand III of Castile was crowned king in Toro in 1230, his wife Elisabeth of Swabia died here five years later.
Built in the late 12th century, San Lorenzo el Real is the oldest Mudejar church in Toro.

The church is built almost entirely of brick. The south portal indicates the emerging Gothic style.
