Church of San Salvador, Gothic church in Getaria, Spain

The Church of San Salvador stands with stone walls incorporating both Gothic and Baroque architectural elements, including pointed arches and ribbed vaults.

The church walls endured attacks during the Franco-Spanish War of 1638 when enemy ships targeted Getaria's port, yet the local garrison maintained its defense.

The first Assembly of Gipuzkoa gathered within this church in 1397, establishing the Brotherhood of Gipuzkoa and marking a pivotal moment in regional governance.

Located at coordinates 43.304461, -2.203478, the church features three naves with the central section displaying tall galleries and decorative triforiums along the wall.

The church floor presents an irregular inclination due to the terrain, while a passage known as Katrapona provides direct access to the port area.

Architectural style: Gothic architecture, baroque architecture
