    Information

    This Neo-Mudejar church, built in 1901 according to the project  by the architect, Jesús Carrasco, is one of the  most outstanding works of the urban planner and engineer, Arturo Soria, famous for being responsible for the Linear City in Madrid.

    The temple, built in brick, was completed in 1924. It has a  basilica-shaped layout  with three naves, without a transept and with just one  apse at the entrance, as well as two small symmetrical pavilions on both sides, which were used as the baptistery and sacristy. The exterior has Neo-Gothic elements in the  central nave and Neo-Mudejar elements in the tower and the apse.  Inside, the windows from the  House of Maumejean and the chapel of  Our Lady of Sorrows stands out, which are the work of the architect and sculptor, Francisco Belosillo, installed in the baptistery in 1949.

    During the Civil War, the tower was used to protect  an anti-aircraft cannon and the bells were melted down to be turned into war material.
