Church of San Salvador and San Nicolás, Madrid, Parish church in Atocha Street, Madrid, Spain

The church stands at number 58 Atocha Street, featuring a modern architectural design following its reconstruction in 1948 after the Spanish Civil War.

The building combines two former independent churches, San Salvador and San Nicolas, which were mentioned in the Madrid Charter of 1202 and merged in the 19th century.

The parish occupies the former location of the San Juan de Dios Hospital, founded in 1552 by Anton Martin, which French troops used as a gunpowder storage.

The church displays a statue of Saint Joseph of Cupertino at its entrance, regarded as a reference for students preparing for their examinations.

Archaeological remains discovered within the Muslim wall suggest that the original Church of San Nicolas dates back to the Muslim period of Madrid.
