Historic Churches of Madrid

Madrid’s ecclesiastical history is preserved in its diverse architectural styles, from the 16th-century Gothic-Renaissance of San Jerónimo el Real to the 18th-century Italianate Baroque of St. Michael's Basilica. This selection includes the royal Convent of Las Descalzas Reales, home to significant Renaissance art, and San Antonio de los Alemanes, famous for its entirely frescoed interior. These landmarks, including the collegiate church of San Isidro, represent centuries of religious devotion and the evolution of Spanish artistic movements from Mudéjar foundations to the Neo-Byzantine domes of the early 20th century.
