Church of San Lucas, Toledo

Behind a high wall, attached to the church, was located the old parish cemetery, where it is told that the last Mozarabs of the city were buried.

[1] Most probably it was built in Mozarab style in the 12th-century,[2] in the 17th century a Baroque chapel was added to it housing the Virgen de Esperanza.

The church is cited in a poem attributed to St. Ildefonsus, according to which it was erected in 641 by Evancio, a son of Nicholas, who married Blesila and who were the grandfathers of St.

[1] This documentary evidence cannot be confirmed and the building could even be a mosque adapted as a Christian church, due to the irregular arrangement of the south wall and the asymmetry of the immediate nave of the epistle.

[1] The church served one of the parishes of Toledo that had the privilege to maintain the Mozarabic Rite after the Reconquista.
