To describe the interior as utterly magnificent is to undersell it. More than worth the effort if you’re in Madrid. It’s compact and you can see all of the interior from sitting on a central pew - talking of which, just sit there and enjoy the moment.

I don’t have pictures because you are not allowed, but this church is one of the greatest in Madrid, better than Almudena. It’s free and the dome it’s incredible, it should be a must for everyone that visits Madrid. Also, close to the church, there is a park where you can see incredible sunsets. A must!!!!
