Church of Saint Jerome the Royal, Gothic church near Retiro Park, Madrid, Spain.
The stone exterior of San Jerónimo el Real displays pointed arches, buttresses, and a central bell tower that rises above Madrid's skyline.
The Catholic Monarchs founded this religious building in 1464, which later became a site for royal ceremonies and prince proclamations.
The church interior contains numerous art pieces, religious sculptures, and stained glass windows that represent Spanish religious craftsmanship.
Located next to the Prado Museum, this church maintains regular mass schedules and welcomes visitors outside of religious service hours.
The cloister of the former monastery now forms part of the Prado Museum extension, designed by architect Rafael Moneo in modern style.
