The Iglesia de San Román is a church in Toledo, Spain. The church built in the mudéjar architectural style in the 13th century.[1] in the place where before there was an old Visigothic architecture and probably, an Ancient Roman building. It is currently the headquarters of the Museum of the Councils and Visigothic Culture.
History and description
It is located in one of the highest and privileged places of the city, in the second of the twelve hills that form it. There is already news of the parish in the 12th century and the church would be consecrated in 1221 by the archbishop Rodrigo Ximénez de Rada. The tradition indicates that in it was crowned king to Alfonso VIII of Castile the August 26 of 1166.
The church presents floor plan with three naves, separated by horseshoe arches with alfiz that support on pillars With Visigoth and Roman columns attached to capitels are reused from Visigothic origin in some cases, distinguishing themselves by its Corinthian leaves.
Throughout 13th century a new apse was constructed and the robust tower (of Toledan Mudéjar style, with its two upper bodies in double bell tower, opening the vanos in groups of two and three, and that would serve as a model for other Toledan towers); In addition to being realized the murals to the fresco in Romanesque painting figurative combined with typically Mudéjar decorations. Of great beauty, these are considered the most southern of Spain. The frescoes are divided into two areas separated by inscriptions. They emphasize the four winged evangelists and the representations of archbishops, the saints Stephen and Lawrence, angels or the Final Judgment.
In the 16th century, Alonso de Covarrubias designed the apse with Plateresque dome of coffers in the main chapel; and later covered the paintings, which lost its traces until the first third of the 20th century in which these were rediscovered. It was not until the 1940s that these were recovered where possible.
