San Nícolas Church Granada

The San Nícolas Church was built on the site of a former mosque, of which only the cistern remains. Together with the church of San Cristóbal, it is the oldest of the Mudejar churches in Granada which was destroyed during the civil war and was restored very recently. San Nícolas Church is one of the most important religious buildings in Granada and is a fine example of Gothic architecture.

One of the most notable features of San Nícolas Church is its large nave, which is illuminated by a series of stained glass windows. The nave is flanked by two rows of columns that support a high barrel vault ceiling. At the far end of the nave is the choir loft, which houses a large organ.

The church also contains a number of tombs and monuments, including those of Fernando de Valor, Juan de Padilla, and Francisco Pacheco. Visitors can admire the stunning architecture, enjoy the peaceful atmosphere, and learn about the history of this important religious site.
