When you get out of the subway in the Retiro's metro station you will find this fine neo- byzantine church. Impossible to miss it...
It dates from 1910 and it's the work of the architect Fernando Arbós y Tremanti. It's a kind of unusual Catholic Church cause of is Greek cross plan and it’s pantheon like section...

A classic beauty :)
What a beauty! The dome is stunning and the architecture does look Eastern European to my eye.
A clear and wonderful picture. The architecture is beautiful :-)
la lumiere tombante sur cette église est magnifique. elle est comment a l'intérieure ?
Light falling on this church is magnificent. it is how has the inside?
Absolutely stunning architecture! Each building offers a thousand photot opportunties. I like how you left the tree in the top right corner, it softens the photo beautifully.
I'd like to add you to my photo a day blogroll -

What a fine image! The lighting is superb!
"Louis" would like to see this iglesia. It reminds him of Sacrè-Coeur in Paris.
You have captured the light perfectly, it is just beautiful! I love not only the lovely lines of the church, but the other architecture in the sqaure! Very nice shot!
One word: wow!
Ah! Tr3nta! My first visit to your blog. It's wonderful! A beautiful city and your photos are fabulous! (I'm gushing, but it's true.)
