This huge church with an ornamental facade has the best collection of religious imagery in Madrid, including works by Michel, Salvador Carmona, Alonso de Mena, Sánchez Barba, González Velázquez, and Bautista Peña. The 19th-century neoclassical-romantic style altarpieces are outstanding. The Santa Teresa chapel is a good example of rococo style with ornate features and frescoes on the dome. It was designed by Pedro de Ribera and built in 1773.
