The visionary poet's romantic stroll: the 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 racetrack?

All this (and much more) is found in the Los Jerónimos neighborhood, the most ambitious experimental laboratory of the frenetic 19th century that resulted in a fairytale city . This is the area with the most urban and architectural restructuring in the history of Madrid, where Baroque splendor , eighteenth-century manners, the long twilight of Romanticism, and the dawn of Modernism meet like nowhere else in the city... right next to the city center and with hardly any tourists.

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