Abstract


The article analyses the process of conversion of the urban and rural mosques into churches in Toledo between the xi and xm centuries. Our starting point is a document that dates the conversion of the former mosque of Bāb al-Mardūm back to 1183, a century after the conquest of the city by Alfonso VI. Some of the aspects studied here are the role played by the King, the Church and the Christian population in the share-out of the mosques and their properties, the different uses of the mosques not converted into parish churches, or the differences and the similarities between this process and the one in other regions of al-Andalus. At the end we suggest hypotheses about the mosque founded by Aḥmad ibn al-Ḥadīdī in 390/999-1000.
