1. San Jeronimo el Real Marker
Construído en el siglo XVI, la iglesia se consagra como escenario de la jura de los Príncipes de Asturias con Felipe II, para quien Juan Bautista de Toledo hace el aposento real, residencia temporal de los reyes hasta que se construya el palacio del Buen Retiro. Al viejo claustro gotico, ya desaparecido se añade uno nuevo a principios del XVIII, hoy bastante transformado, dañado tras la guerra de la independencia y la desamortizacion. Su aspecto exterior, con las torres y cresterías, se debe a la obra de Narciso Pascual y Colomer en 1854. Enrique M. Repulles remace los interiores en 1883, según el modelo de San Juan de los Reyes de Toledo. La escalinata de acceso es de 1905. En 1925 el claustro fue declarado bien de interes cultural.

Excerpt: Saint Jerome the Royal (in Spanish San Jerónimo el Real) is a Roman Catholic church from the early 16th-century in central Madrid (Spain). The church, which has undergone numerous remodelings and restorations over the centuries is the remaining structure of the Hieronymite monastery that once stood beside the royal palace of Buen Retiro,(Submitted on January 15, 2023.)of which a portion now serves as the Prado museum. Its proximity to the royal palace also underscores a connection to royalty, serving for centuries as the church used for the investiture of the Prince of Asturias. In addition, a Mass to celebrate the investiture of King Juan Carlos I was held here...Photographed by Andrew Ruppenstein, November 8, 20223. San Jeronimo el Real and Marker
