'''Santiago del Arrabal''' is a 13th-century church in [[Toledo, Spain]].
== History ==
Construction of the church was commissioned by [[Sancho II of Portugal|Sancho II]] and began between 1245 and 1247. It was built on the site of previous buildings, including a [[Visigothic Kingdom|Visigothic]] structure and a later mosque whose use is documented from 1125. Construction was paused in 1248, after Sancho's death, but resumed again under the patronage of the Diosdado family, members of the [[Order of Santiago]]. The church was heavily restored between 1958 and 1973 and much of its present appearance is due to this restoration.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Franco |first=Ángela |title=Church of Santiago del Arrabal |url=https://islamicart.museumwnf.org/database_item.php?id=monument;ISL;es;Mon01;29;en&pageT=N |access-date=2024-04-11 |website=Discover Islamic Art - Museum With No Frontiers}}</ref>
The church was constructed in [[Mudéjar art|Mudéjar]] style with influences from the [[Romanesque architecture|Romanesque]] style of [[Kingdom of Castile|Castile]]. The freestanding bell-tower incorporated the remains of the former mosque's [[minaret]].<ref name=":0" />
