13th century murals, San Román

The 13th-century Mudéjar church of San Román house Romanesque mural paintings from the 13th century.

These frescoes are remarkably well-preserved and adorn the interior of the church, featuring warm hues of orange and red, and are considered some of the most significant examples of Romanesque wall painting in the region.

The Romanesque frescoes in Toledo’s San Román church are renowned for their vivid depictions of apocalyptic scenes, including what is often interpreted as a "coffin scene" and imagery associated with plague and death—sometimes featuring dragons or serpentine creatures.
