Church of San Salvador de Palat del Rey
Church of San Salvador de Palat del Rey, Medieval church in León, Spain.
The Church of San Salvador de Palat del Rey features a Greek cross floor plan with semi-circular arches and an umbrella vault at its central structure.
Built between 931 and 951 under King Ramiro II of León, this church served as part of a monastery complex dedicated to his daughter Elvira Ramírez.
The structure combines Visigothic and Mozarabic architectural elements, reflecting the architectural styles prevalent in 10th century northern Spain.
The church remains active within the parish of San Martin and welcomes visitors interested in exploring its 16th-century chapel and ancient mural paintings.
This site functioned as the first royal pantheon of León, housing the remains of King Ramiro II and his successors before their transfer to San Isidoro.
