Church of San Bernabé, Herrerian church building in El Escorial, Spain.

The granite stone church features a rectangular floor plan measuring 42 meters long, 15 meters wide, and 15 meters high with lateral chapels.

King Philip II commissioned Francisco de Mora to design this church, which was constructed between 1594 and 1595 by the same craftsmen who built El Escorial Monastery.

The central altarpiece depicts the martyrdom of Saint Barnabas through a painting created by Juan Gómez according to Francisco de Mora's design specifications.

The church stands near train and bus stations, making it accessible for visitors traveling from Madrid to explore its architectural and historical elements.

The granite blocks used in construction came from local quarries known as Peña El Remendao and Cruz de la Horca, connecting the building to its regional geology.
