Polvoranca Lake is the ideal place to disconnect without leaving Madrid. A very pleasant circular walk, surrounded by nature and with many birds to see. It is perfect for both training and spending the afternoon with the family. The sunset views over the water are wonderful!

The Church of San Pedro Apóstol de Polvoranca is a church located in Polvoranca Park, in the municipality of Leganés (Madrid). It dates back to the Modern Age, having been built during the 17th century. It is Baroque in style, despite its Romanesque forms. In 1998, the church was classified as a Protected Building by the Leganés City Council, and in 2014, it was included on the Red List of Heritage due to its long-standing state of disrepair. In 1575, Juan Chacón Ponce de León, of ancient ancestry, and Ana de Ossorio purchased the land from the Count of Orgaz, thus creating the Polvoranca estate, later annexed to the town of Leganés in 1849. After raising sufficient funds with the financial support of church members, Juan Chacón was charged with beginning construction, which was completed in 1655.
Although the church is Baroque in style, Art History Professor María Dolores Domech clarifies: "Its semicircular arches indicate Romanesque architecture, although it was built at a later period." The floor plan is a Latin cross with a single nave, consisting of side chapels and a coffered barrel vault. The architects were Francisco de Mora and his nephew, Juan Gómez de Mora, who enjoyed great prestige in the capital because they were part of the Court of the Minor Austrians.[3] It was dedicated to San Cosme and San Damián, but after the subsequent abandonment of the town and therefore of the church, their images were taken to the parish of Leganés until the war broke out, as they were destroyed by the Republican side. Some very fine reproductions still remain.
