SAN GINÉS CHURCH
The San Ginés church, dedicated to the French saint Saint Genès d'Arles, dates from the Middle Ages but the current building is the result of many works and renovations that followed major fires (1645 and 1824). Nevertheless, the chapel of Santísimo Cristo has preserved the most important treasure of San Ginés, with works by Alonso Cano, Lucas Jordane and el Greco (The Purification of the Temple). At the entrance to one of Madrid's oldest churches, a plaque reminds us that here Francisco de Quevedo was baptized and that Lope de Vega celebrated his wedding there.
