Diese Kirche gehört nicht zu den meistbesuchten Orten in Toledo – und genau das macht ihren Charme aus. Der Eingang ist etwas versteckt, fast unscheinbar, aber wer ihn findet, wird belohnt. Innen ist es eher dunkel und schlicht, doch gerade das sorgt für eine besondere Atmosphäre. Man fühlt sich sofort in eine andere Zeit versetzt – fast wie eine Reise ins Mittelalter. Ohne den Trubel wie in der Kathedrale kann man hier die Stille und Geschichte auf sich wirken lassen. Ein echter Geheimtipp für alle, die gerne abseits der bekannten Pfade unterwegs sind.
