Chapel of Obispo de Madrid, Gothic chapel in Plaza de la Paja, Madrid, Spain
The Chapel of Obispo contains Renaissance doors created by Francisco Giralte and inner wooden doors made by Francisco de Villapandó.
Francisco de Vargas initiated the construction between 1520 and 1535, while his son Gutierres Vargas, Bishop of Plasencia, completed the project.
The chapel represents the transition from Gothic to Renaissance architecture, displaying the mature Isabelline Gothic style common in Madrid.
Visitors can reach the chapel via Metro La Latina on line 5 or by taking bus lines 3, 31, 50, 60, and 65.
The tombs of Francisco de Vargas and Inés de Carvajal flank the Plateresque-style High Altar inside the chapel.
