La iglesia de San Román de la ciudad de Toledo se construyó en estilo mudéjar en el siglo XIII en el lugar donde antes hubo una basílica visigótica, conforme atestiguaría la cripta hallada bajo la capilla mayor, reaprovechada quizá como mezquita y probablemente, sobre un antiguo edificio romano. Actualmente es la sede del Museo de los Concilios y de la Cultura Visigoda. Está situada en uno de los lugares más altos y privilegiados de la ciudad, en la segunda de las doce colinas que la forman. Se tienen noticias ya de la parroquia en el siglo XII y la iglesia sería consagrada en 1221 por el arzobispo Rodrigo Ximénez de Rada. La tradición señala que en ella se coronó rey a Alfonso VIII de Castilla el 26 de agosto de 1166 por el caballero y noble Esteban Illán.[1]

Entrada gratuita.

Sitio único en Toledo y poco masificado. No te lo puedes perder. Le pongo un 4 por el funcionario que a falta de 10 minutos para el cierra (llevábamos 10 allí) nos echó.
