The village has its own church, primary school and community hall. Mass is celebrated at 8.30 a.m., 12.30 p.m. Sooey is a village in County Sligo in Ireland. The church was inaugurated in 1911 thanks to the generous donation of a Catalan family The most beautiful thing is the dome and the marble altar. Most definitely well worth checking out if your in the area. This is an impressive church close to El Retiro Park. Iglesia De San Manuel Y San Benito is easy to locate along Calle De Alcala in the eclectic Barrio De Salamanca district.
We never ventured into the church but I was content to just admire the church ,take some photos and move on. My twin brother Stephen and I had just had a great afternoon out in Parque De Retiro were we enjoyed a meal,some beers,spent an hour rowing around the artificial lake and took in the stunning statues and fountains and well kept park grounds in this magnificent park and on exiting the park the church was across the road, a beautiful bell tower,a stunning domed roof,fabulous white washed walls ,its simply a fantastic building, makes for some great photographic opportunities. It's such a stunning piece of architecture, the finest example of Neo Byzantine style of architecture that looks stunning,the church was designated a World Heritage Site in 1982.
Iglesia De San Manuel Y Sa Benito is in my humble opinion one of the most stunning looking churches in Madrid.Ĭompared to some of the many churches to be found in Madrid it's a relative baby ,constructed between 1902 - 1910 from designs by architect Fernando Arbos Y Tremanti.
