dc.descriptionMajor wall, the portal, detail showing the architrave left side; The most important aspect of Toledan art in the second half of the 15th century was the creation of the Hispano-Flemish style that fused Islamic with Flamboyant forms. The most typical representative of the style was Juan Guas, who was responsible for the most important building in Toledo after the cathedral, the Franciscan Convento de San Juan de los Reyes, begun in 1476 by Queen Isabella of Castile and León to commemorate the battle of Toro. This building is of an extraordinary decorative richness, especially in the beautiful arcaded cloister with shouldered arches and carving as fine as gold work .
