Pontifical Basilica of St. Michael, Catholic basilica in central Madrid, Spain

The basilica features a curved facade with two spire-topped towers and a pediment, displaying characteristics of Spanish Baroque architectural design.

Construction occurred from 1739 to 1745 under architect Santiago Bonavía's guidance, replacing a thirteenth-century parish church that previously occupied the site.

The Cristo de la Fe y del Perdón statue, created by sculptor Luis Salvador Carmona in the eighteenth century, participates in Madrid's Holy Week processions.

Located at San Justo Street 4, the basilica can be reached through La Latina and Ópera metro stations, with opening times varying by season.

The basilica's Latin cross layout, inspired by Roman churches, sets it apart from other religious buildings in Madrid.
