El Salvador stands where the main mosque of Muslim Seville stood before the Almohads built the larger one under what is now the cathedral. The Baroque church is 17th-century.
⭐ Fragments of the mosque survive and are visible: part of the courtyard, and reused columns in the structure. The patio is the oldest usable space in central Seville.
The interior is loud, gilded Baroque — a strong contrast with the cathedral's height and restraint a few minutes away.
Our tip
The cathedral ticket often covers this too. Check before buying a second one.
