Church of Santa María, Alcalá de Henares, Catholic church in Alcalá de Henares, Spain.
The church features a granite facade adorned with four sculptures carved by Manuel Pereira in 1624, representing Saints Peter, Paul, Ignatius, and Francis Xavier.
Construction of the church began in 1567 as part of the Jesuit College, with architects Bartolomé de Bustamante and Francisco de Mora directing the Italian-influenced design.
After the Spanish Civil War, this church replaced the destroyed Santa María la Mayor as the main parish, incorporating elements from both religious traditions.
The church maintains regular mass schedules, with services at 9:00, 11:00, and 19:30 during winter months from September through June.
The adjoining Chapel of Holy Forms, built in the 17th century, houses 24 consecrated forms preserved since 1597 and features paintings by Juan Vicente Ribera.
