The romantic walk of the visionary poet: the Los Jerónimos neighborhood

Did you know that Madrid has a second hidden Royal Palace ? And a single Gothic church... with a Renaissance cloister!? And a mythological hippodrome?

All this (and much more) can be found in the Los Jerónimos neighbourhood, the most ambitious laboratory of experiments in the crazy 19th century that resulted in a fairy-tale city . This is the area with the most urban and architectural restructuring in the history of Madrid, where Baroque splendour , 18th century manners, the long twilight of Romanticism and the dawn of Modernism meet like nowhere else in the city... right next to the Centre and with hardly any tourists.

The most representative buildings of the last 500 years of Madrid are in Los Jerónimos, a neighbourhood for nonconformist travellers where you can discover the romantic influences of France, Italy, England and Germany, as well as the most authentic Spanish styles . The neighbourhood of arts and sciences, of finance and silence. An island of singular beauty that is a must-see in Madrid.
