Monastery of Inmaculada Concepción, Loeches
Monastery of Inmaculada Concepción, Loeches, Dominican monastery in Loeches, Spain.
The monastery features a Baroque facade with a prominent Austrian-style spire and a grand dome, designed by architect Alonso Carbonell in 1640.
Gaspar de Guzman, Count-Duke of Olivares and advisor to King Philip IV, established this religious complex as a sanctuary away from Madrid's court.
The monastery once held an extraordinary collection of paintings by Rubens, Tintoretto, Veronese, and Tiziano before French forces removed them during the 1809 invasion.
The building includes three open terraces, four adjacent chapels along the perimeter wall, and multiple rooms decorated with preserved Talavera tiles.
The monastery contains the Alba family mausoleum, constructed in 1909, featuring rows of black marble sarcophagi with golden bronze inscriptions.
