An Essential Madrid Landmark: Iglesia San Gines

Iglesia San Gines offers a deep connection to Madrid's history, with origins tracing back to the 14th century. It exemplifies the resilience of religious architecture in the city.

Originally founded in the 14th century, the current structure was completed in 1645 following extensive work after a fire in 1824. Significant for its art, the church hosts El Greco’s 'Expulsion of the Moneychangers from the Temple' (1614), uniquely displayed to minimize reflections. Its location has historically been significant, presumably housing a Mozarabic community prior to Christian dominance.
