Overview
Historic parish of the 16th century in Fuenlabrada, hence known as 'the cathedral of Fuenlabrada'. It preserves the baroque altarpieces, not so the images that, except for those of the main altarpiece, were burned, just like the entire parish archive, during the Civil War by the Republican faction. During the Civil War it suffered the consequences of the explosion of a powder house located in the street of La Plaza. It maintains a typically Toledo-style bell tower with four bells from the 18th century. The main festival of Fuenlabrada is celebrated on September 14 in honor of its patron Christ of the Mercy. The titular of the parish is Saint Stephen the Martyr, December 26. For more information about the parish visit its web.

This historic parish in Fuenlabrada is a must-visit attraction, offering a unique blend of architecture and history. The baroque altarpieces are a major draw, although some of the images were unfortunately damaged during the Civil War. Visitors can appreciate the typically Toledo-style bell tower with its four 18th-century bells. A walk around the exterior of the building reveals the impact of the Civil War, with the blast marks from the explosion of a nearby powder house still visible. While the interior is peaceful and calming, the response time to inquiries and requests for assistance has been inconsistent, with some users reporting long wait times. The location is easily accessible by wheelchair, with an entrance designed to accommodate visitors with mobility issues. Unfortunately, the parish's management has received criticism for its responsiveness to inquiries, with some users reporting difficulty getting in touch via phone or email.
