Lonely Planet review

Built on a plan of three Greek crosses laid end to end, San Salvador is among the city's oldest churches, possibly dating from the 7th century (although the bulk of what you see dates from later periods). The present façade was erected in 1663. Among the noteworthy works inside is Titian's Annunciazione (Annunciation), at the third altar on the right as you approach the main altar.

Behind the main altar is another Titian, Trasfigurazione (Transfiguration).

To the right of the church is the former monastery of the same name, now owned by the national phone company Telecom, which has installed a communications museum there.
