Minaret of the original mosque, Church of San Juan de los Reyes, Granada, Andalusia, Spain (2002). Originally a mosque used by Christian converts at the beginning of the 13th century. It was the first place consecrated as a church by the Catholic Monarchs after the conquest of Granada. The original building was torn down in 1520 to erect the church in Gothic style. A minaret of the mosque has been conserved with decoration formed by bricks with mixtilinear arches and sebka panels (almohad style).
