Divino Salvador Church (Seville)

 church, listed building / architectural heritage, Roman Catholic church

It is located on the ruins of the primitive Major Mosque of Seville.

It conserves the Patio de Abluciones (Courtyard of Ablutions) from the IX Century and the basement of its tower, whose current body of bells is a Leonardo de Figueroa´ s work, from the end of the XVII Century.

The church has a Basilical structure with three naves. The main cross is covered by barrel vaults and the rest of the bays are covered by cross vaults.

Inside the temple, the major altarpiece should be highlighted, because it is considered to be one of the most monumental and representative works of the Baroque style in Seville as well as the colossal altarpiece of the façade of the sacramental chapel, which is dedicated to the Transfiguración (Transfiguration), both are works by Cayetano de Acosta (1770- 1779).
