Church of las Calatravas, Baroque church in Cortes district, Madrid, Spain.
The Church of las Calatravas features an octagonal tower supporting a large dome with eight windows, of which four remain sealed.
The church, designed by Fray Lorenzo de San Nicolas in 1670, represents the remaining structure of a former convent that faced demolition in 1868.
The interior houses a notable altarpiece created by Jose Benito de Churriguera between 1720 and 1724, with sculptures by Pablo Gonzalez Velazquez.
The church opens Monday through Friday from 07:45 to 13:00, Tuesday to Friday from 18:00 to 20:00, and weekends from 11:30 to 13:00.
The red terracotta facade displays neo-Renaissance decorations inspired by Milanese architecture, including a central rose window with the Calatrava cross.
