E is for El Salvador. The Iglesia El Salvador stands on the Balcón de Europa in the centre of Nerja.
The original church was erected in 1505, although the existing structure was not actually built until much later, in 1697, and it was then further extended during the period 1776 – 1792.
The interior is noted for its 18th century frescoes decorating the Evangeline nave, and the contemporary mural of the annunciation by the painter Francisco Hernandez.
The church suffered minor damage in 204 when it was hit by lightning.
