Fodor's Review:

The Plaza Vázquez de Molina, in the heart of the old town, is the site of the Sacra Capilla de El Salvador. This building is photographed so often that it has become the city's unofficial symbol. Sacra Capilla was built by Vandelvira, but he based his design on some 1536 plans by Diego de Siloé, architect of Granada's cathedral. Considered one of the masterpieces of Spanish Renaissance religious art, the chapel was sacked in the frenzy of church burnings at the outbreak of the civil war. However, it retains its ornate western facade and altarpiece, which has a rare Berruguete sculpture.
