Ermita de Santa María La Antigua

This hermitage was built in the 13^th century in honour of Santa María Magdalena and it is the oldest Mudejar temple in the Community of Madrid, as well as the only hermitage in this style that is fully preserved. Nowadays it is used as the chapel for Carabanchel cemetery.

The current building, built on a former Roman town dates back to between the 2^nd and 3^rd centuries and is in the Romanic-Mudejar style, with a rectangular layout and semi-circular masonry apse. Of its primitive 13^th century layout, it conserves the header, tower and southern wall, in which the façade is located.

Legend has it that two of the miracles (the wolf and the loaf of bread) attributed to San Isidro (1080-1172), who lived two centuries prior to the start of construction of the current building, are refer to the site of this church.
