The Iglesia de San Vicente is a medieval parish church in Toledo, Spain, with roots extending to the aftermath of Alfonso VI's conquest of the city in 1085, though it appears documented as a parish by 1125. Built in Mudéjar style, the church's oldest surviving element is its apse, which dates stylistically to no earlier than the 13th century and shares typological features with Toledo's Cristo de la Vega—including horseshoe-pointed arches, lobed vaulting, and decorative friezes. The interior preserves a distinctive double archery running the apse's perimeter, composed of blind horseshoe arches, while a small Gothic chapel with crossrib vaulting was incorporated into the wall thickness in the early 14th century. Later Baroque interventions, including a large central shield and openings for illumination and a crypt, altered the original appearance. Following the parish's abolition in 1842, the building now functions as part of the Toledo Museum of Art and holds the status of bien de interés cultural (cultural heritage).
