Church of La Milagrosa, Minor basilica in Chamberí district, Madrid, Spain.
The Church of La Milagrosa, also known as the Church of San Vicente de Paul, stands on Calle García de Paredes at the corner of Fernández de la Hoz in Madrid's Chamberí district. Built between 1900 and 1904 by architects Juan Bautista Lázaro de Diego and Narciso Clavería y de Palacios, it covers 900 square metres. Its exterior combines a Neo-Mudéjar facade with a Neo-Gothic rose window and a sebka-like grid of mixtilinear arches over the entrance, while the interior is mainly Neo-Gothic. The facade has two square-based towers with octagonal spires.
The church was designed by architects Juan Bautista Lázaro de Diego and Narciso Clavería y de Palacios and completed in 1904. It arose during a period of growth and urban expansion in this part of Madrid.
The church was originally dedicated to Saint Vincent de Paul and only later became known as La Milagrosa; on 13 June 1923 it was raised to the rank of minor basilica. The interior is predominantly Neo-Gothic, while the exterior combines Neo-Mudéjar elements, such as the mixtilinear arch lattice above the portal, with a Neo-Gothic rose window.
The site is accessible on foot from Alonso Cano metro station and is centrally located in the neighborhood. Visitors should check visiting times and service schedules before arriving, as these may affect access.
The exterior mixes Neo-Mudéjar and Neo-Gothic work: above the main portal sits a sebka-like grid of mixtilinear arches, while the facade is organised as an H with a Neo-Gothic rose window. The two flanking towers have square bases and octagonal tops. A mosaic by Daniel Zuloaga once decorated the church.
