Situated in the shadow of the hill occupied by Alhambra, Iglesia de San Pedro y San Pablo was built around 1560 on the site of a Moorish mosque (mezquita de los Baños) after the Catholics expelled the Moors. The architectural design is typical Mudéjar style with a square tower resembling the minaret of a mosque. The church's situation by the river Darro, right below Alhambra, provides a scenic backdrop for the church.
