Monastery Royal Barefoot Visit with entrance without waiting for queues
Overview
Discover the Monastery of the Descalzas Reales and admire a convent founded by Juana of Austria, youngest daughter of Charles V and sister of Philip II.
Enjoy the exquisite decoration of its interior, with frescoes on its main staircase attributed to Claudio Coello and, around the upper cloister, chapels decorated with an image of a recumbent Christ from the 16th century attributed to Gaspar Becerra, which is carried in a procession on Friday. Holy.
You can also admire the choir with its original stalls, where today the community gathers to pray, it is decorated by a magnificent Dolorosa by Pedro de Mena and here are the tombs of the Empress María and her daughter the Infanta Margarita.
We will talk about countless works of art, both Flemish, Italian and Spanish paintings from the 16th and 17th centuries, some of them made by Vincenzo Carducci or Antonio Moro, a delight to the eye.
