Hermitage of San Nicasio

Monument · Leganés, Área Metropolitana, Madrid

A small 18th-century chapel, built between 1772 and 1780 to a design by the architect Ventura Rodríguez, commissioned by the Marquess of Leganés, at what was then the western entrance to the town. Rebuilt in the 1950s, it still stands and has given its name to the neighbourhood that surrounds it today, one of the most traditional in Leganés. It is counted among the architect's minor works that best illustrate the refined classicism of the Madrid Enlightenment.
