The church Andrew (Iglesia de San Andrés) in Madrid in 1995 was entered in the Bien de Interés Cultural - an institution protecting the Spanish cultural heritage. The monument is known mainly due to the patron of Madrid - Saint Isidore. The chapel dedicated to him was built in the place of his former home, and the cemetery where he was buried is under the foundations of the current church. The body of the saint was transferred to the collegiate church of San Isidro after the expulsion of the Jesuits in 1767.
Construction of the church of St. Andrew began in 1657. The initial baroque design was developed by José de Villarreal, and subsequent conversions were supervised by Pedro de la Torre and Juan de Lobera. Unfortunately, much of the interior decoration, including paintings, was destroyed during the Spanish Civil War. The church was then set on fire. Architects J. Vellés and MF Posada Casari reconstructed it.
