Church of Milagrosa

    Information

    This 900-m2 church built by Juan Bautista Lázaro and Narciso Clavería y de Palacios was opened in 1904. It is one of the best examples of eclectic architecture characteristic of Madrid churches of that time.

    Its neo-Gothic interior with is simple decoration is a contrast to the ornate exterior decorated with neo-Mudéjar brickwork combined with Gothic elements. It has a three-nave floor-plan. The central nave is the widest and the tallest and is separated from the lateral ones by twelve cruciform pillars symbolizing the twelve apostles. There is no transept and the apse has an ambulatory inspired by the Toledo cathedral alternating the square and triangular vaults. Two towers clearly inspired by the European Gothic flank the main façade.

    The church has had several transformations to its interior following the initial neo-Gothic style. The most important one was in 1965 when it became a parish.
