Colegio de Santa Catalina e Iglesia de San Salvador y Santo Domingo de Silos, Catholic church and former Jesuit college in central Córdoba, Spain.

The church features a Latin cross layout with vaulted ceilings supported by Tuscan pilasters and stone reinforcement arches throughout the structure.

Construction of the complex started in 1555 under architect Hernán Ruiz Jiménez and continued until 1589, establishing a major religious center in Córdoba.

The main altarpiece demonstrates the craftsmanship of Teodosio Sánchez de Rueda through intricate Baroque sculptural and decorative elements.

The church maintains two 18th-century sacristies that house religious artifacts and liturgical objects for current parish activities.

The building served as an educational institution until 1767, when the Jesuits were expelled, leading to the merger of two parishes within its walls.
