Iglesia Colegial del Divino Salvador

3 Plaza del Salvador, Sevilla, Andalucía

Description

The Collegiate Church of the Divine Savior (Iglesia Colegial del Divino Salvador) is a Catholic Church built in Baroque style at the end of the 17th century. It was built where the largest mosque in Seville once stood before it was converted into a church after the Reconquista of the city in 1248 until it needed to be rebuilt. Architectural and artistic highlights include the main altarpiece made by Cayetano de Acosta and various other altarpieces (there are 14 in total), the bell tower (the base of the old minaret can be seen) and the decorated octogonal dome.

Access & Transport

Address: Plaza del Salvador This is a pedestrian zone in the center of the city. The "Plaza Nueva" tram stop (T1) is only 300m to the southwest and there are bus stops along Calle Imagen, the same distance to the north. The closest parking is at 18 Calle Albareda

Instructions & Recommendations

There are combined tickets for this church and the Seville Cathedral & La Giralda Tower. Other nearby attractions include the "Setas de Sevilla' and the 'Casa de Pilatos'

Meta review

Although this is the second largest and important church in Seville, the reviews are not uniformly good. Most visitors state being impressed by the richly decorated chapels with their golden altarpieces and wooden sculptures whilst others highlight the pleasant Baroque architecture and the small square facing the church with its orange trees. However, for a significant minority, it pales in comparison to the Cathedral and they don't think there is anything that spectacular to justify the entrance price, especially compared to other churches in the city.

Environmental & Social

Environmentally neutral. Part of the city's architectural and artistic heritage.

Conclusion

The Church of the Divine Savior stands out for its Baroque design and deco but, if you are on an Andalucia itinerary with many religious monuments on the menu, this isn't a must-see.

Key positive

None besides the entrance fee that may be a little high
