The church of San Lorenzo is one of the so-called Fernandina churches that is located in Córdoba, Spain, in the neighborhood of San Lorenzo to which it gives its name.

Saint Lawrence, to whom this church in Córdoba, Andalusia, is dedicated, is one of the early Christian martyrs from a time when Christianity was still forbidden. He was the Pope's archdeacon and had been summoned by the pagan Emperor Valerian to hand over the church's treasure. Lawrence requested three days' grace, during which he distributed the church's wealth among the poor inhabitants of Rome. After the agreed time, he returned to the emperor with the poor to present them as the church's treasure. He was then martyred to death. Legend says he was roasted alive over coals on a gridiron—this attribute can be seen in many depictions of Saint Lawrence. He is said to have been in good spirits and to have asked his executioner if he would turn him over.

The feast day of Saint Lawrence in the calendar of saints is August 10th.

Located in the neighborhood of the same name, this church is one of the most exquisite jewels of Cordoba's medieval architecture. Despite the renovations, the turn-of-the-century restorations have restored part of its original aesthetics. Its originality lies in the portico with three arches that precedes the main entrance, with the tower on the left side, and the imposing rose window in the center. The tower was built on the minaret of an old mosque, the remains of which can be seen in the main body, the last three being added in the 16th century by Hernán Ruiz II. The movement of the upper prisms precedes the Seville Giralda in aesthetics. Inside, the headpiece, covered with Italogothic paintings, and the Baroque main altarpiece, housed today at the foot of the church, near the imposing baptismal font, stand out.
