The Mosque of Cristo de la Luz is a Catholic chapel and former mosque located in Toledo, Spain. It is one of the ten mosques that existed in the city during the period of Muslim rule. Originally known as the Mezquita Bab al-Mardum (مسجد باب المردوم), its name was derived from the nearby city gate, Bab al-Mardum. The building is situated near the Puerta del Sol, in a district historically known as the Medina, where affluent Muslims once resided.
