Sacra Capilla del Salvador del Mundo, Úbeda

Facts and practical information

The Sacred Chapel of the Saviour of the World is a temple built under the patronage of Francisco de los Cobos as a pantheon annexed to his palace in Úbeda, in what is now called Plaza Vázquez de Molina.

Commissioned to be built in 1536, it formed part of an extensive artistic programme aimed at exalting the fame, fortune and personal glory achieved by Charles V's personal secretary, for which he called upon the services of first-class artists. The initial project was entrusted to Diego de Siloé from Burgos, while the work was carried out by Andrés de Vandelvira from 1540 onwards. The temple was consecrated in 1559. Its first chaplain was the Deán Ortega, for whom the large palace to the left of the chapel's main façade was built.

El Salvador was the most ambitious undertaking of all the private religious architecture of the Spanish Renaissance. Declared a historic-artistic monument in 1931, it has become, in turn, one of the most popular symbols of this city whose Renaissance monumental ensemble, which together with that of Baeza, was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2003.
