History
Records of a church of this name date to the start of the 13th century, making it one of the oldest in Madrid. The church and its bell-tower may have been part of a former mosque. By the 19th century, this church was poor in resources and parishioners. The parish was joined to that of El Salvador in 1805. For a time, the building was abandoned till the church was ceded in 1825 to the Third Order of Servites. When the nearby church of El Salvador was destroyed in 1842, this church gained its former status as a parish church. Now it belongs to the Servite Order.
