Church of St. Dominic of Silos

View on map

Built in the first half of the 16th century, its impressive, original design stands out, originating from the transition between the Gothic and Renaissance periods. It has a tower at the chancel, completely refurbished, made of exposed brick that shines brightly in the sun. Attached to the wall is an old granite stone bench that spans along the side door. On the church’s facade is a stone sundial with Arabic numerals, alongside the street of Calle Virgen de la Cabeza. Inside, the majestic columns and star-shaped cross vaults are a highlight. 

On one side of the church, accessible through an iron gate, is the old cemetery which has now been turned into a garden area. 

The Madrid Region officially recognised the Church of St. Dominic of Silos as an Asset of Cultural Interest (BIC) in 2019.

Its striking and original design, corresponding to the transitional period between Gothic and Renaissance, stands out. It has a fully restored tower at the chancel end, built in brick.
