Church of Santa Cruz, Écija, Gothic church in Écija, Spain

The Church of Santa Cruz features five naves, a Latin cross layout, and a central dome that defines its architectural composition.

Originally constructed during the Visigoth period, the structure served as a mosque after the Arab invasion until its conversion to a Christian church in 1263.

The church museum exhibits religious artifacts from the 16th to 19th centuries, including metalwork, sculptures, and paintings that represent Spanish sacred art.

The church remains open for visitors throughout the year, with guided tours available to explore both the main building and its sacred art museum.

A 5th-century stone sarcophagus adorned with Biblical carvings stands within the main altarpiece, representing early Christian artistry.
