Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de Covadonga, Catholic church in La Guindalera district, Madrid, Spain
The church presents a combination of rationalist exterior design and neo-Romanesque interior features, with a tower inspired by the Basilica of Covadonga.
Construction began in 1914 on land donated by Marquesa Maria de Erice y Cubas, with architect Manuel Muñoz Monasterio leading the project until 1952.
The church contains a replica of La Santina, the Virgin of Covadonga, patron saint of Asturias, connecting Madrid's faithful to northern Spanish traditions.
Located at Plaza Manuel Becerra, the church holds regular services and organizes an annual procession on September 8th, celebrating Covadonga and Asturias Day.
During the Spanish Civil War in 1936, the original building suffered destruction by fire, leading to its reconstruction in several phases until 1953.
