Iglesia del Salvador, Renaissance church in Caravaca de la Cruz, Spain.
The Iglesia del Salvador features a Renaissance triumphal arch facade with two distinct sections, including Ionic semi-columns and decorative pilasters throughout the structure.
Construction of the church commenced in 1526, replacing a medieval structure from the 14th century, and continued through multiple phases until completion in the 17th century.
The church contains a significant Baroque high altar, transferred from the former Jesuit church in 1876, representing Spanish Catholic artistic traditions.
The parish church maintains regular opening hours for religious services and welcomes visitors interested in exploring its architectural and historical elements.
The facade incorporates a central niche displaying a Baroque representation of El Salvador, completed by Juan Garzón Soriano in 1657.
