Church of St. Teresa and St. Isabel

Local name: Iglesia de Santa Teresa y Santa Isabel

Neoclassical church of St. Teresa and Saint. Izabela in Madrid has an interior made in the Neo-Baroque style. The style of the interior is to refer to the baroque altar brought here from the church of San Pelayo in Villaumbrales de Campos. In addition, there are historic side aisles with altars, Calvary from the Baroque period, sculptures of Christ crucified and Saint. Teresa.

The temple was built in 1942 - 1956 on the initiative of residents of the suburbs of the Spanish capital who wanted to have a parish church in their area. The foundation stone for the construction of the church was laid by José Maria Aguilar, and the implementation was supported by Bishop Toledo and Queen Elizabeth II.

An interesting fact about the Madrid church of St. Teresa and Saint. Elizabeth is the fact that building materials were often supplied by parish residents, bought with their own money. Builders were also often workers who lived in this area and did the work of erecting the temple as a social act.
