The following Text is from Wikipedia - the free encyclopædia,
unless stated otherwise.The Mezquita-Iglesia de El Salvador is a Church in Toledo, Spain, completed in 1159. The Priestly Order only Celebrate The Divine Mass in The Extraordinary Form.
Although the Church is small, it is an exceptional building, because it is the site of four successive constructions, one on other and so on. It's a 12th-Century Church, built on an 11th-Century Taifa Mosque, which was an expansion of a 9th-Century A.D. Umayyad Mosque, and, in turn, on a Visigoth religious building.[2][1] Also, these civilisations re-used 2nd-Century A.D. Roman elements of the buildings.
It is most unusual, in Andalusia, Spain, that Muslims were happy to build on top of Visigoth buildings.
The Arcade of the former Mosque blended in the Church. Its Horseshoe Arches rest on six re-used Roman Capitals and Columns and one Visigoth Pilaster[1]

The large number of Visigoth Decorative Reliefs, forming Friezes, and Roman Cornices embedded in the Walls, is surprising.[3]
The current Church is oriented South-East, in the direction of Mecca. It survived the conquest of Toledo by Christian Armies in 1085, to be subsequently turned into a Church in 1159. One of the most characteristic elements of the Church is a Visigoth Pilaster, with intricate Relief Carvings.[4]
As a Christian Church, from around 1180 to the Late-15th-Century, it began to be used as a Cemetery with anthropomorphic Tombs, above which were placed more burials, in which some Grave Goods have been found.
