St. George's Anglican Church, Anglican church in Recoletos district, Madrid, Spain
St. George's is a church building in Recoletos featuring Neo-Mudéjar and Romanesque Revival architectural details with a single nave, transept, and polygonal chancel. A Mudéjar-style tower rises beside the sacristy, while a garden separates the structure from the street.
The current building was completed in 1923 and consecrated in 1925, replacing earlier worship spaces that included a converted carriage house of the British Embassy. Its construction reflects the growing need for English speakers to have their own place of worship in the city.
The stained glass windows fill the interior with colored light and depict religious figures that draw the eye upward. These artworks reflect the spiritual traditions that visitors experience when walking through the space.
The garden in front provides a quiet buffer from the busy street and gives visitors a moment to prepare before entering. Services are held regularly in English, making the church accessible to those who speak the language.
The congregation includes people from around 26 different countries, making this British church a genuinely international gathering place. This diversity stands out in a predominantly Catholic city and gives the space a cosmopolitan character that many visitors find surprising.
