It was built between 1946 and 1951, utilizing the existing walls, to honor the Virgen de Atocha, who has been considered the oldest patron saint of the city of Madrid and the protector of the Spanish royal family. Previously, the site housed the old convent of the Order of Preachers of Nuestra Señora de Atocha and the original hermitage shrine dedicated to the veneration of the Virgen de Atocha. It is also a place dedicated to honoring the Santo Niño de Atocha. I recommend visiting when you want to think alone.

Interior is not impressive for a basílica. The other basilicas in Madrid are much better

Basílica de Nuestra Señora de Atocha, the first knowledge reference of his existence dates from the sixth century. It has been rebuild several times along the history, last time, after the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), where most of the Catholic Church in Madrid were destroyed by the Republican Government until his defeat by the troops of Franco. In 2007, the Pope Benedict proclaimed saints five Dominican that were martyred in the beginning of the Spanish Civil War. There are a monument in the Church Cloister commemorating these five friars that lived there. There are two pieces of interest inside: The Santo Niño of Atocha, located in the left side of the church, that is a copy of the original, destroyed in the Spanish Civil War, and the image of Our Lady of Atocha, in the altarpiece of the Church, that was hidden by the Dominicans during the War. Daily mass at 8:00, 10:00, 12:00 and 20:00. Saturday at 10:00, 12:00 and 20:00 (Sunday Mass). Sunday masses at 9:00, 10:00, 11:00 (kids), 12:00, 13:00 and 20:00.
