Colegiata de los Santos Justo y Pastor, Catholic church in Plaza de la Universidad, Granada, Spain
The Colegiata de los Santos Justo y Pastor is a religious building located at Plaza de la Universidad with a Latin cross floor plan and high hemispherical dome. The dome rests on classical pilasters that frame openings toward the side chapels, creating the main architectural feature of the interior.
The Jesuits built this structure between 1575 and 1621 as a religious center. The outer facade received its current design during the 18th century when it was redesigned with classical architectural elements.
The interior displays religious artworks that reflect the artistic tastes of the period, with the altar area serving as the focal point where worshippers gather today. People come here both for prayer and to appreciate the craftsmanship of earlier centuries.
The church opens on weekday mornings and evenings, with extended hours on Sundays when visitors can explore the interior more freely. Check the schedule before your visit, as opening times may vary seasonally.
The outer wall displays Corinthian columns mounted on pedestals with white marble decorative elements. This style stands apart from other religious buildings of its time in the city.
