Basilica of Nuestra Señora de Atocha, Minor basilica and Catholic parish church in Retiro, Madrid, Spain.

The Basilica of Nuestra Señora de Atocha exhibits Herrerian architectural style with its geometric forms and minimal ornamentation throughout the building structure.

Following severe damage during the Spanish Civil War in 1936, architect Diego Méndez led the reconstruction efforts, completing the renewed basilica in 1951.

The basilica maintains regular religious services, hosts conferences on Catholic teachings, and coordinates social assistance programs through the Cáritas organization.

Located on Avenida de la Ciudad de Barcelona, the basilica welcomes visitors daily and provides guided tours explaining its architecture and historical significance.

The Pantheon of Illustrious Men stands adjacent to the basilica, housing the remains of notable Spanish political figures including José Canalejas.
