Templo Nacional de Santa Teresa de Jesús, Catholic monastery church at Plaza de España, Madrid, Spain
The temple features three naves within its interior structure, combining Gothic and Byzantine architectural elements throughout its grand construction design.
The church construction began in 1916 under architect Jesús Carrasco-Muñoz and underwent restoration after damages during the 1931 Burning of Convents.
The interior houses notable artworks, including two large oil paintings by Francisco Cossio depicting the Apotheosis of Saint Teresa and the Order.
The temple operates as both a monastery church and parish church, offering regular religious services and maintaining spaces for the Discalced Carmelite community.
The building exterior presents a medieval fortress appearance with crenellated walls and a multicolored mosaic-tiled dome rising above Plaza de España.
