Hermitage of Nuestra Señora de los Ángeles, Getafe, Catholic hermitage church in Cerro de los Ángeles, Spain.

The hermitage features a single nave with a barrel vault and a small transept crowned by a lantern dome supported by stone walls.

The original structure from the 11th century was built after Alfonso VI conquered Madrid, replacing an Arab watchtower at the geographical center of Spain.

The hermitage houses a wooden statue of the Virgin Mary from 1610, venerated as Our Lady of Angels, the patron saint of Getafe diocese.

The church contains a mechanical organ constructed by Federico Acitores in 1999, equipped with 56-note manual keyboards and a 30-note pedal board.

The remains of Francisco José Pérez y Fernández-Golfín, the first bishop of Getafe diocese, rest beneath the lantern dome of the hermitage.
