Church of San Juan de Ávila, Parish church in Alcalá de Henares, Spain.
The structure features undulating brick walls that flow into vaulted ceilings, creating a continuous upward movement throughout the building design.
Uruguayan architect Eladio Dieste designed this church using his ceramic-vault technique, which opened its doors to the community in 1998.
The church incorporates a six-meter diameter rose window crafted by glass artist Carlos Muñoz de Pablos, featuring concave and convex sections.
The parish office opens Tuesday through Friday from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM, offering services and consultations to community members.
The building employs a structural system that eliminates the need for supporting pillars, allowing walls to curve freely through ceramic and iron components.
