St. Isidore's Collegiate Church

The white stone facade of San Isidro Church extends across two high towers connected by a central section with round arches and rectangular windows.

Construction of San Isidro Church began in 1622 under architect Pedro Sánchez and continued for 42 years until its completion in 1664.

The church houses the remains of Saint Isidore, Madrid's patron saint, and contains artwork by Spanish masters Sebastián Herrera and Claudio Coello.

Located at 37 Calle Toledo near Plaza Mayor, the church welcomes visitors through its main entrance and offers religious services throughout the week.

A water well associated with Saint Isidore's miracle of saving his son remains preserved beneath the church's main altar.
