St Michael Basilica

Surprising design

Calle de San Justo 4
Madrid, Madrid 28005
+34 91 548 4011

The church's convex façade is an example of Italian baroque, and the unique design gives the small area a much greater sense of space. You'll see sculptures by Roberto Michel, Salvador Carmona and Pascual de Mena inside, along with paintings by Ferrant, frescoes by the González Velázquez brothers and altarpieces by Ventura Rodríguez. This diminutive Apostolic Nuncio was designed by Giacomo Bonavía and built between 1739 and 1746.
