Iglesia Parroquial de Nuestro Salvador is one of the most historically layered temples in Granada, standing on the site of the former Great Mosque of the Albaicín. Rebuilt in the 16th century after the Christian conquest, the church preserves elements of its Islamic past, most notably the original minaret, which now serves as a bell tower and remains one of the finest examples of Almohad architecture in the city. The church’s Mudejar craftsmanship is visible in its wooden ceilings, brickwork, and harmonious proportions, blending Christian symbolism with Andalusi artistic traditions. Inside, the atmosphere is serene, with chapels and altarpieces that reflect centuries of devotion and local identity. As a parish church, it continues to play an active role in community life, while its architectural richness makes it an essential stop for visitors exploring the cultural heritage of the Albaicín.
