Church of Santiago Apóstol de Villa del Prado

Monument · Villa del Prado, Sierra Oeste, Madrid

The church of Santiago Apóstol, a Gothic building of the 15th and 16th centuries on which Hernán González de Lara and Pedro de Tolosa worked, has two towers, one of them completed in the second half of the 16th century. It preserves Gothic plasterwork and paintings on the vaults, and was already recorded in 1921 in the Historia de Madrid y de los pueblos de su provincia, by Juan Ortega Rubio. Declared a historic-artistic monument of provincial interest on 30 December 1980, it now holds the rank of Bien de Interés Cultural (Spain's highest level of heritage protection).
