Church of San Pedro, Polvoranca, Ruined church in Polvoranca, Spain.
The San Pedro church structure displays bare stone walls, a Latin cross layout, and a single nave with side chapels and barrel vault.
The construction of this religious building, funded by Juan Chacon Ponce de Leon, began in 1575 and concluded in 1655 under architects Francisco and Juan Gomez de Mora.
Originally dedicated to Saints Cosme and Damian, the church images were moved to Leganes parish before their destruction during the Spanish Civil War.
The ruins stand in Polvoranca Park within the municipality of Leganes, located 15 kilometers from central Madrid and accessible through local transportation.
Archaeological excavations in the 1950s and 2000s uncovered human remains and a funeral crematorium, indicating the presence of noble family burials.
