Royal Chapel of St. Anthony of La Florida
Royal Chapel of St. Anthony of La Florida, Royal chapel and museum in Madrid, Spain
The neoclassical chapel features a central dome with natural light illuminating the interior spaces decorated with detailed religious frescoes painted on walls and ceilings.
Built in 1798 under King Charles IV supervision, architect Filippo Fontana designed this religious space following the increasing regional devotion to Saint Anthony of Padua.
The interior walls display Francisco Goya's frescoes depicting Saint Anthony's miracles, including a scene where the saint resurrects a murdered man to testify.
The chapel opens Tuesday through Sunday from 9:30 to 19:00, with specific summer hours and free guided tours available on weekday mornings.
Since 1919, Francisco Goya's remains rest at the chapel's presbytery floor, making this location both a place of worship and the painter's mausoleum.
