San Pedro de la Mata is a ruined church located in the middle of the countryside, at about 3 km southwest of the village of Casalgordo, in the municipality of Sonseca.
The original foundations of a church, a granite platform, can be clearly seen. Some fragments of walls and a couple of arches also remain.
The church appears to have gone through various phases, and dating of its features is problematic. According to traditional historiography, it was originally the church of a monastery, one of those that grew, promoted by the nobility, around the capital city of the Visigothic Kingdom of Toledo, similar to the case of Santa María de Melque not far from S. Pedro de la Mata. This origin would allow us to date the first church between 589 and 711.
