Iglesia Colegial del Divino Salvador

About

Iglesia Colegial del Divino Salvador is one of Seville’s most magnificent Baroque churches, a landmark that dazzles with colour, light, and sculptural richness. Built on the site of the former Great Mosque, it preserves echoes of its Islamic past in the Patio de los Naranjos, while its grand façade and lavish interior reflect the city’s eighteenth‑century artistic splendour. Inside, visitors encounter soaring arches, gilded altarpieces, and expressive religious imagery that showcase the mastery of Andalusian craftsmanship. The main altarpiece, a dramatic display of carving and gold, anchors a space filled with chapels dedicated to important brotherhoods. Known as the starting point for several Holy Week processions, the church remains deeply woven into Seville’s spiritual life. With its blend of history, devotion, and architectural brilliance, the Divino Salvador stands as a powerful expression of Baroque Sevillian identity and a must‑see for anyone exploring the city’s sacred heritage.
