Monasterio de las Descalzas Reales<\/strong> is one of the most stunning buildings in the centre of Madrid. This convent has a church, a cloister, a museum and even a kitchen garden<\/strong>. Its history dates back to the XVI century and it is one of the oldest convents in Madrid<\/strong>. It not only has enormous historical value but it also houses a very important art collection<\/strong>. In our blog we have already written about another place full of history which is Biblioteca Nacional;<\/a>\u00a0today, we will visit Monasterio de las Descalzas Reales<\/strong>. Would you like to join us?<\/p>\n

\"Monasterio<\/p>\n

A CONVENT IN THE VERY CENTRE OF MADRID<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is located in Plaza de las Descalzas<\/strong>, hence its name. Half way between Sol and Opera we come upon Monasterio de las Descalzas Reales<\/strong>. This Renaissance and Plateresque style building<\/strong> was founded in 1559 by Juana de Austria<\/strong> and it became a cloistered nuns convent. However, before 1559 it was a palace which was reconstructed and then turned into a convent.<\/p>\n

\"Monasterio<\/p>\n

Inside, we can still see some remains of the palace<\/strong> such as a Plateresque door and a courtyard with columns. When Napoleon III arrived, many buildings in the square which belonged to important people<\/strong> such as the duke of Lerma or the marquis of Mejorada were demolished or transformed. But, Monasterio de las Descalzas Reales was not changed in any way<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Monasterio<\/p>\n

10.000 WORKS OF ART<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the convent, we must highlight the church<\/strong> even though we do not know who planned and designed it.\u00a0<\/span>It has a classic style fa\u00e7ade and in the interior we can admire the altar, the choir area and the sacristy<\/strong> as well as many paintings and sculptures of interest<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Monasterio<\/p>\n

It is wortwhile visiting the beautiful cloister<\/strong> which is made up of more than sixty marble pieces. In this cloister, in Holy Week, you can see the Santo Entierro Procession as it conveys the perfect setting.<\/p>\n

\"Monasterio<\/p>\n

The main staircase<\/strong>, which impresses every visitor, as well as Capilla del Milagro<\/strong> have striking murals of different periods<\/strong>. Paintings by Claudio Coello, Zurbar\u00e1n, Rubens and Tiziano decorate the convent which has more than 10.000 works of art<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span>We must admire the nine tapestries made by Rubens<\/strong> which hang in a permanent exhibition. The nuns of the convent grow vegetables in the kitchen garden.<\/p>\n

\"Monasterio<\/p>\n

DID YOU KNOW THAT..?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Monasterio de las Descalzas Reales is an enclosed conven<\/strong>t. However, the nuns live in a separate building<\/strong> so as to enable visitors to see it and therefore they do not coincide with the nuns.<\/p>\n
