Spain - Sevilla, Iglesia del Salvador

Iglesia del Salvador (Salvador Church) is built on the remains of the 9th century Ibn Adabbas Mosque, the main mosque of Sevilla. When Christians conquered Seville, they allowed initially use as a mosque, but in 1340 it was converted into the parish church of Salvador, which lasted till 1671, when the building was quite deteriorated.
Construction of the present church started in 1674 and was fished in 1712. It has a basic structure with three naves and is the second largest church of Sevilla, after the cathedral.

The main altarpiece (PiP) from late 18th century is an absolute highlight in the exuberant interior of the church; it is considered to be one of the most monumental and representative works of the baroque style in Sevilla.

The plaza in front of the church, Plaza del Salvador, provides a popular meeting place and destination for both locals and visitors.
