Colegiata del Salvador

Granada


Dominating the Plaza del Salvador near the top of the Albayzín, the 16th-century Colegiata del Salvador rests on the site of the Albayzín’s former mosque, the patio of which still survives (with its original aljibe and horseshoe arches). It's only open during Mass.
