St Salvator's Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

This place of worship in St Andrews, with its high tower that clearly towers over the surrounding area, would make you think of a church rather than a chapel. It was not dedicated to one of the many people we venerate as blessed or saints and ask for their heavenly intercession with God. Rather, it was dedicated to the incarnate Son of God, Jesus Christ, the Redeemer and Savior ("Saint Salvator").
