San Eugenio Obispo, Av de Madrid, Navas del Rey, Comunidad de Madrid

In Navas del Rey we can visit the parish church, built in honor of San Eugenio Obispo (at the initiative of Cardinal Lorenzana). It is of Baroque construction and inside the painting of the Virgin of Candelaria stands out.

Cardinal Lorenzana who in 1782 ordered the construction of the Parochial Church of Navas del Rey in honor of San Eugenio, seizing , to finance the work, the tithes or collections of the monks of the Monastery of Valdeiglesias.

Formerly it was all made of stone, it underwent a major reform after the Civil War, as a result of the poor condition in which it was left and little has remained of the original building.

At present the Parish Church is restored and inside we can admire works such as a San Diego from the 16th century, a Virgin of Candelaria, a copy of the authentic one, from the 17th century, an image of the Virgin with the Child from S. XVI as well as a San Juan and a polychrome sculpture of San Joaquín and the Virgin, baroque, from the S. XVII, from San Fernando de Cádiz and property of the parish priest, now deceased, Manuel Rodríguez y Chacón

A specific origin of the population of Navas del Rey is not known. Some historians associate it with the Monastery of Santa María de Valdeiglesia, from the 12th century, although some texts collected in Alfonso XI's Book of Hunting suggest that the area was used by monarchs for hunting. In the vicinity of the population was the hunting lodge of the Castilian monarchs known as the house of La Asperilla, located in a pasture of royal property known as Dehesa Real.

The first figure that the urban nucleus received came in 1774 when its ecclesiastical separation from San Martín de Valdeiglesias was recognized. At that time, the municipality received the name of Dehesa de las Navas. On April 22, 1819, King Fernando VII granted the title of Villa to the municipality.
