Convent of the Capuchin Fathers, Religious convent in El Pardo district, Madrid, Spain.
The convent of the Capuchin Fathers is a monastic building in El Pardo with a church dedicated to Our Lady of the Angels. The structure displays white walls and traditional Spanish architectural elements from the early 17th century.
King Philip III commissioned the construction in 1612, and architect Juan Gomez de Mora designed the final structure in 1615. The foundation occurred as part of the early religious establishment in the area.
The painted altarpiece by Francisco Rizi showing Our Lady of the Angels with Saint Philip and Saint Francis remains a focal point inside. This artwork shapes how visitors experience the space today.
The grounds are accessible from outside, though interior spaces are typically open for visits only at specific times. It is advisable to contact ahead to confirm visiting hours and tour availability.
The site maintains organic gardens tended by migrants that serve as part of a broader support system. These gardens function beyond simple agriculture, offering social benefits to the community living nearby.
