Saint John the Baptist (San Juan Bautista), to whom this church in Talamanca de Jarama is dedicated, is - like Saint Joseph - a man on the threshold from the Old to the New Testament. His parents are Zacharias and Elisabeth. After the announcement of God's incarnation, the Mother of God visits her relative Elisabeth, who will give birth to a son in her old age, John the Baptist.
He is half a year older than Jesus and is considered his forerunner/pioneer. He lives in the desert, preaches repentance from sins to the Jewish population and baptizes them in the Jordan. Jesus also comes there to be baptized, and is filled with the Holy Spirit who descends on him from heaven.
The feast day of John the Baptist (San Juan Bautista) in the saints' calendar is on June 24th, exactly half a year before 'Holy Eve'.

Romanesque work from the end of the 12th century or the beginning of the 13th century, of which only the apse is preserved, the rest of the temple was built in the 16th century by Toledo artists. At the beginning of the 17th century, a chapel was added to the north side of the Cabecera. The Church was restored in 1885, mainly affecting the side naves.
