Colegiata del Salvador, Religious edifice in Albayzín, Granada, Spain

The Colegiata del Salvador stands at Plaza del Salvador, featuring preserved elements of the former Great Mosque including the courtyard and horseshoe arches.

Built in 1565 by architect Juan de Maeda, this church replaced the Great Mosque of Albayzín following Granada's transition from Islamic to Christian rule.

The building holds notable artworks, including paintings by local artists and a sculptural representation of the Salvador created by Pedro Duque Cornejo.

The church opens exclusively during Mass times, and visitors can access the museum of religious art through a separate entrance by paying an admission fee.

The preserved Moorish ablutions courtyard with its original water well represents one of the oldest Islamic architectural elements remaining in Granada.
