Iglesia de los Capuchinos

A striking neo-Gothic church on the corner of Plaza España, completed in 1934 and notable for having one full bell tower and one that ends abruptly halfway up. The asymmetry is intentional and is the signature image of the building.

The interior is bright and well-proportioned, with stained-glass windows and a Romanesque-style ribbed vault. Free to enter outside service times.

A story
The church was deliberately built with one tower complete and the other broken off — the architect, Augusto Ferrer, wanted to symbolise that humanity is by nature unfinished. Most visitors assume the second tower is unfinished by accident or budget.
