Church of San Francisco de Borja Madrid
The church of San Francisco de Borja in Madrid is a Catholic temple located at 104 Serrano Street . Designed by the architect Francisco de Asís Fort in the Neo-Baroque style , it was built between 1946 and 1950. Until 1931, when it was burned down, there was a parish dedicated to San Francisco de Borja in the center of Madrid, on Calle de la Flor, which was also the professed house of the Jesuits.

Admiral and President of the Government Luis Carrero Blanco used to listen to mass every morning in this church. Returning from the temple in his official car, he suffered an attack on the morning of December 20, 1973 with a bomb buried under Claudio Coello street that blew up the vehicle to the roof of the residence of the Jesuit provincial. Carrero Blanco died in this attack.
