Basilique Notre-Dame de la Miséricorde, Minor basilica in Tetuán district, Madrid, Spain.

The Latin cross-shaped basilica features a central concrete arch, two towers, side chapels, and an upper gallery with a dome rising above the altar.

Construction began in 1949 after architects Francisco Javier Sáenz de Oíza and Luis Laorga won the design competition, with completion occurring in 1965.

The side chapels within the basilica represent different Hispanic American countries, reflecting the strong connection between Spain and Latin America.

The basilica stands at 66 meters long, 35 meters wide, and reaches a height of 42.5 meters, with the main nave extending 25 meters upward.

The interior ceiling displays an exposed metal structure supporting glass panels, departing from traditional church architecture of the period.
