Church of El Salvador, Cuenca, Medieval church in Cuenca, Spain.

The church consists of a wide nave with side chapels between buttresses, featuring a square tower on its main facade with stone and brick construction.

Built during the Late Middle Ages when Cuenca expanded southwest, the church underwent major renovations in 1656 with the addition of a barrel vault reinforced by transverse arches.

The temple incorporates different architectural styles, combining Gothic elements with later modifications that reflect the evolution of religious architecture in central Spain.

Located near a historic water fountain installed in 1534, the church stands in a neighborhood that housed prominent families of medieval Cuenca.

The bell tower was relocated to the head of the temple in 1903, resulting in an eclectic design that combines Gothic and Mudejar influences.
