Iglesia Parroquial de San José

This guide to the Iglesia Parroquial de San Jose in Granada centers on the bricked-up window in its bell tower, once the balcony of a Zirid-era minaret raised in the 1100s, among the oldest structures in the city. It follows the muezzin's daily climb up the tower and the cistern still beneath your feet, then the 1492 order that turned the mosque into a church within days. A Morisco parish kept its old rituals quietly here for decades afterward. Stand below the tower and study the outline of that sealed window.
