Wikipedia description:
Santa María de Melque is a church located near the town of San Martín de Montalbán in the province of Toledo in Spain. Included in the Monastic Complex of Melque, it is considered "the best preserved exponent of the constructions and establishment of religious complexes in the early 8th century in the region of Toledo". The church is the biggest fully-vaulted early medieval church still standing in Western Europe. Following its acquisition by the Toledo Provincial Council, the complex was excavated and restored. An interpretation centre is available.
