The Mezquita de las Tornerías (original Arabic name: al-Mustimim) is a former mosque in Toledo, Spain. It was built in the middle of the 11th century,[1] after the example of the Mosque of Cristo de la Luz (999). It is now the seat of the arts and crafts center Centro de Promoción de la Artesanía de Castilla-La Mancha.
