Oratory of the Caballero de Gracia, Neoclassical church on Gran Via, Madrid, Spain

The Oratory of Caballero de Gracia features a Roman basilica layout with single-piece granite columns supporting an extensive vaulted ceiling system.

Juan de Villanueva constructed this religious building in the late 18th century, incorporating design elements that reflect the architectural principles of that period.

The church contains the tomb of Guadalupe Ortiz de Landazuri, who became the first lay member of Opus Dei to receive beatification in 2019.

The oratory opens daily from 10:00 to 13:45 and 17:00 to 20:45, offering regular masses and maintaining continuous display of the Blessed Sacrament.

The northern facade underwent reconstruction during the development of Gran Via, requiring architectural modifications to integrate with the new street layout.
