Iglesia de Santa María de la Granada - Niebla, Huelva, España - This Old Church on Waymarking.com

"La iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Granada es un templo católico de la localidad de Niebla, provincia de Huelva (España). Está considerada como Bien de Interés Cultural (BIC). Fue declarada Monumento histórico-artístico perteneciente al Tesoro Artístico Nacional mediante decreto de 3 de junio de 1931.

Se trata de un pequeño y austero edificio de raíz romana y levantado sobre lo que era la mezquita mayor de Niebla y que constaba de cinco o seis naves y alminar. De esa época se conservan algunos muros y el mihrab sobre todo. Luego fue transformada por los cristianos en iglesia gótico-mudéjar. En el siglo xvi gran parte de la antigua mezquita es derruida eliminando las arquerías y construyendo tres naves de estilo mudéjar y un presbiterio. Durante la Guerra Civil se quemó su artesonado mudéjar.

En su interior se conservan importantes elementos históricos como una tabla ornamental y una silla episcopal de piedra, ambas de origen visigodo.

"The church of Nuestra Señora de la Granada is a Catholic temple in the town of Niebla, province of Huelva (Spain). It is considered an Asset of Cultural Interest (BIC). It was declared a historical-artistic monument belonging to the National Artistic Treasure by decree of June 3, 1931.

It is a small and austere building of Roman roots and built on what was the main mosque of Niebla and which consisted of five or six naves and a minaret. Some walls and, above all, the mihrab are preserved from that time. Later it was transformed by Christians into a Gothic-Mudejar church. In the 16th century, a large part of the old mosque was demolished, eliminating the arches and constructing three Mudejar-style naves and a presbytery. During the Civil War its Mudejar coffered ceiling burned.

Inside, important historical elements are preserved, such as an ornamental table and a stone episcopal chair, both of Visigothic origin.
