San Cayetano Church, Catholic church in central Madrid, Spain

San Cayetano Church exhibits a baroque facade with eight granite pillars and three decorated niches containing statues of religious figures.

The church construction began in 1669 by architect Marcos López and continued with José Benito de Churriguera, reaching completion in 1761 under Francisco Moradillo.
