San Pedro El Viejo

San Pedro El Viejo
Probably Madrid's oldest church and some say that it was originally a mosque, but there is little evidence of a Muslim quarter in this part of the old town. It seems that the Muslim influence was strong enough in the 13th century to dictate the architectural style especially as the top 'architects' of the day would have been Muslim!

Many thanks Tess but I've never been to Huesca!!!
This is squarely in the centre of Old Madrid!
It is sometimes called San Pedro El Real and I think Wiki contributors seem to prefer this name on balance. I found references to both the Madrid and the Huesca churches in Wiki and they do seem a bit mixed up!
Never mind, I'm just pleased you like it!
Best wishes,
Andy
