The Church of St James the Great, located in Toledo, Spain, dates back to the 13th century. It was rebuilt on the site of a Visigothic structure and a later mosque. The church was commissioned by Sancho II and constructed between 1245 and 1247. The church was heavily restored between 1958 and 1973, much of its present appearance being a result of this restoration. The church exhibits Mudéjar style with influences from the Romanesque style of Castile. The freestanding bell-tower incorporates the remains of the former mosque’s minaret.
