Divino Salvador Parish Church
Built over a former mosque, it is a basilica church with a rectangular apse and three naves, the central one being higher than the lateral ones. The architectural ensemble consists of two perfectly differentiated parts that correspond to two stages of its construction: The Gothic Mudejar chevet of the 14th century is composed of rectangular and robust pillars on which the pointed arches rest, covered by a vault with central ribs. In the side naves there are three chapels that house religious images highlighting the Gothic Crucified and the figure of the Nazarene. The Late Gothic extension of the late fifteenth century is formed by four sections separated by pillars of great height giving a great luminosity to the church that contrasts with the darkness of the Mudejar construction. We also highlight the altarpiece of the High Altar (XVII century) made by the master Francisco de Villegas in the seventeenth century executed in cedar and borne. We also highlight a beautiful front of Mudejar ceramics. Visiting hours: Consult schedule: 956 45 00 56
