Beautiful Catholic Church located in the neighborhood of "La Latina" in the community of Madrid. The inside of the church is GORGEOUS especially where the eucharistic is located by Jesus Christ. The columns, the angels and all the detailed work done is just amazing. All the church staff are very nice and cordial with all the people visiting. Very peaceful church, if you ever go to "La Latina" you should visit. You must know that the church is open only from 9 am to 1 pm, they close, and re-open from 5 pm to 8 pm. 🙏💟🙏

It was built using the ruins that had a previous church in the same place. The primitive church in turn was previously occupied by a mosque located next to the albarrana tower in what was later the Palacio de Laso de Castilla, residence of the Catholic Monarchs and Cardinal Cisneros when they were in Madrid. The previous church had been frequented as a parish church by the patron saint of Madrid, St. Isidore the Laborer, and his wife Santa María de la Cabeza, who lived nearby.

Founded in the 12th century, later evolving into a Baroque structure, especially after the construction of the Chapel of San Isidro in the 17th century. The chapel, designed by Pedro de la Torre, featured a dome, rich stucco decoration, and baroque paintings, using materials like marble and jasper, and was built to house the remains of San Isidro Labrador, a 12th-century farmer venerated for his miraculous deeds and later declared Madrid’s patron saint.

Ubicada en el céntrico barrio de La Latina, es una de las parroquias más antiguas de Madrid. Dice la leyenda que era muy frecuentada por San Isidro Labrador y Santa María de la Cabeza, feligreses de la parroquia en la que el santo fue enterrado. Junto a ella se alzaba la casa de su patrón Iván de Vargas, sobre la que se levantó luego el palacio de los marqueses de Paredes, ahora reconstruido y convertido en museo municipal.

Este pequeño templo está construido sobre el solar en el que, según la tradición, estuvo la casa donde vivieron San Isidro y su esposa, Santa María de la Cabeza, situado en el barrio de La Latina. Después de su muerte, el cuerpo de San Isidro estuvo custodiado en la parroquia de San Andrés hasta que, en 1518, el Papa León X concedió su custodia a la familia Vargas, quienes posteriormente lo depositaron en la Capilla del Obispo, contigua a la mencionada parroquia.

Las obras de la capilla empezaron el 12 de abril de 1657, siendo solemnemente inaugurada el 15 de mayo de 1699 en presencia de los reyes Felipe IV y su esposa Mariana de Austria. El edificio constituye un magnífico ejemplo de construcción barroca. Desechado un primer proyecto de Juan Gómez de Mora en 1629, las obras se iniciaron siguiendo las trazas de Pedro de la Torre.

Adosada a la parroquia de San Andrés, la Capilla de San Isidro tiene entidad propia; se construyó sobre una planta alargada (perpendicular a la parroquia), y cuenta con una cúpula encamomada rematada con una linterna. A Pedro de la Torre le siguieron en la construcción José de Villarreal, en 1657, y, más tarde, Juan de Lobera, quien remató las obras en 1669.

El cuerpo del santo se continuó venerando en la Capilla de San Isidro hasta que, en 1769, tras la expulsión de la Compañía de Jesús, se procedió al traslado de los restos a la iglesia del Colegio Imperial, en la calle Toledo, desde entonces conocida como Colegiata de San Isidro. El 18 de julio de 1936, a las pocas horas de iniciarse la Guerra Civil, capilla y parroquia fueron incendiadas, quedando totalmente destruidas, lo que motivó que, después de la guerra, el edificio fuera totalmente reconstruido, prolongándose su restauración hasta 1991.

Un hecho curioso sobre la Parroquia de San Andrés Fue levantada sobre el solar en el que estuvo un primitivo templo cristiano del Madrid islámico, ha sido destruida y reconstruida varias veces hasta que fue incendiada en 1936 al inicio de la guerra civil, perdiéndose todas sus obras de arte y salvándose únicamente el exterior. Se reconstruyó su interior (1986-90) por los arquitectos J. Vellés, M. Casariego y F. Posada, quienes decidieron realizar una reconstrucción exacta, lo más fiel posible al desaparecido original, mediante un riguroso proceso de...

Accessing this church can been a little confusing. Check for opening times but access is via a wrought iron gate on the right hand side of the building. Wonder around the building and it will become obvious eventually. This is very definitely somewhere you will love or loath. I really liked the exterior of the church but very strongly disliked the interior decoration. The dome has been decorated in some sort of Baroque-style with coloured moulding and lots of pink cherubs scattered about. The body of the church has extensive amounts of black marble. I’m not overly religious but I feel the decoration in the dome completely distracts from what should be the central point, the alter. Unusually there appears to only be one side chapel - decorated with a guided alter. Worth a look...
