Church of Santo Cristo del Olivar, Madrid, Neo-Baroque Catholic church in central Madrid, Spain.

The Church of Santo Cristo del Olivar features a central nave with barrel vaults, side aisles separated by pillars, and a brick exterior facade.

Architect Enrique María Repullés constructed the current building between 1910 and 1919, replacing an earlier structure from 1647 that deteriorated over time.

The church contains two notable Baroque artworks: the Santo Cristo de la Fe sculpture by Manuel Pereira and the Virgin of the Rosary by Luis Salvador Carmona.

Located at 4 Cañizares Street near Atocha area, the church operates as a parish under the Dominican Order since 1899.

The facade combines Renaissance and Neoclassical elements in an eclectic style, contrasting with the Neo-Baroque interior design of the building.
