This free-standing chapel, the pantheon of Francisco de los Cobos, secretary to Emperor Charles V and his chief advisor in matters of the imperial funds, is a masterpiece by Diego de Siloé; its layout embodies the full funerary symbolism of the rotunda as an evocation of the Holy Sepulchre. Siloé's design was executed by Andrés de Vandelvira, who crafted the entire Sacristy. The result is a church that stands comparison with the finest Italian Renaissance architecture.

This iconic structure in the heart of Ubeda is known as the Holy Chapel of the Saviour or Chapel of El Salvador. However, during my visit I learned that this building is not a church at all. It is actually a mausoleum built between 1536 and 1559. It was commissioned by Francisco de los Cobos y Molina to be used as his family's mausoleum. Because this was so out of the norms of propriety, de los Cobos was required to pay the Pope. The Pope also required that de los Cobos would have to allow the public to enter the building. The interior of the building as gilded and absolutely magnificent! I can only the wealth of a family that afford to build this structure AND pay the Pope in order to obtain permission to construct this building. The detailed work throughout is world class. Unfortunately much of the building was damaged by the civil war and had to be reconstructed by artists and artisans of Ubeda. The front of the interior is the crypt area. At the entrance to this area is a gate topped with four medallions which signify the virtues needed to enter—justice, charity, faith and hope.

Very old church and certainly worth visiting. I think it was a donation of 2 Euros for entry. Very simple inside but many (unsure of the words) of the catholic representations that are carried around the town on feast days. Note - you enter from a rear door.
