The Church of Saint John of Avila (Spanish: Iglesia de San Juan de Ávila) is a Roman Catholic parish church located in a modern neighbourhood of Alcalá de Henares Spain.The current temple was built in brickwork by Uruguayan engineer-architect Eladio Dieste; the dimensions of walls and roofs are very slim thanks to reinforced ceramics.It is dedicated to saint John of Avila.It is interesting to point out that originally this church was going to be built in Uruguay (Our Lady of Lourdes Church in Malvín); as the economic situation made this impossible only the apse was built.
