Full description

Church of San Pedro el Viejo is one of the oldest churches in Madrid, set in the Centro district and known above all for its bell tower. Built in brick in the Mudéjar style, the tower blends Islamic and Christian influences and has a visible lean that makes it easy to spot among the surrounding streets.

Inside, the atmosphere is calm and devotional, and visitors have sometimes arrived during a rosary procession. The visit is short, around 15 minutes, and free of charge, which makes it a convenient detour for anyone interested in the medieval layers of the old city.

One of the oldest churches in Madrid. Its bell tower was built in the 14th century in the Mudejar architectural style, which blends Islamic and Christian influences. It is constructed of brick, typical of Mudejar design, and has horseshoe-arched openings at the top.
