Church of San Ginés de Arlés, Medieval church in central Madrid, Spain
The church features three naves divided by semicircular arches, multiple side chapels, and a bell tower topped with a characteristic slate spire.
Founded in the 12th century, the church underwent major reconstruction in 1645 after fires damaged the original Mozarabic structure, leaving only the bell tower intact.
The Santísimo Cristo Chapel contains artworks by masters including Alonso Cano, Luca Giordano, and a covered painting by El Greco depicting the Purification of the Temple.
Located at Calle Arenal 13, the church opens Monday through Friday from 8:45 AM to 1 PM and 6 PM to 8:45 PM, with access from Metro stations Callao, Opera, and Sol.
The church displays an unusual artifact: a stuffed crocodile that reportedly arrived from the Americas during the reign of the Catholic Monarchs in the 15th century.
