Church of Saint Manuel and Saint Benedict

The white marble church features a central Greek cross layout with a large dome supported by pendentives depicting the four evangelists.

Fernando Arbós y Tremanti constructed this religious building between 1902 and 1910 as both a residence and church for the Augustinian Fathers.

The church forms part of the Paseo del Prado and Buen Retiro landscape, receiving cultural heritage protection status in 1982.

Located opposite Retiro Park, the church maintains regular visiting hours and welcomes both worshippers and visitors interested in religious architecture.

The church's Italian-style bell tower and lateral chapel contain marble tombs of its Catalan benefactors, Manuel Caviggioli and Benita Maurici.
