Convent of las Comendadoras de Santiago, Religious monastery in Plaza de las Comendadoras, Madrid, Spain.
The church of the convent features a Greek cross floor plan with a central dome supported by pendentives and four equal-length arms.
King Philip IV established the Convent of las Comendadoras de Santiago in 1650, designating it for nuns of the Military Order of Santiago.
The high altar displays a painting by Lucas Jordan depicting Santiago at the Battle of Clavijo, representing Spanish religious art traditions.
Visitors can reach the convent using metro stations Noviciado, San Bernardo, or Ventura Rodriguez, with multiple bus routes serving the area.
The convent underwent a substantial transformation in 1773 when architect Francisco Sabatini reorganized the facilities surrounding the main church structure.
