Description
Along the Carrera del Darro in Granada Spain, wedged in between the narrow road and the cliff down to the river and in the shadow of the Alhambra, is what appears to be a modest church. it is the church of San Pedro and San Pablo, with an exterior that looks Moorish. Don't pass it by, but step inside for a few moments for another impression! The church was built on the land where before the conquest of the Catholic Monarchs there was a mosque. The construction began in 1559 and ended in 1567. A striking view when you first enter the church is the gilded wooden tabernacle.
