Church of San Esteban Protomártir

Monument · Fuenlabrada, Área Metropolitana, Madrid

The church of San Esteban Protomártir, the oldest building in Fuenlabrada (Madrid), is first mentioned in a manuscript of 1427, during the visits of the clergyman Martín Sánchez to the churches of the archpriesthood of Madrid. Rebuilt on various occasions throughout its history, its origin not entirely established, it holds inside a high altar retable dated 1707 and attributed to José de Churriguera, with a central canvas attributed to the painter Claudio Coello. Every 26 December the feast of San Esteban is celebrated in honour of the church's patron saint.
