The church of San Manuel and San Benito was built between 1902 and 1910. The architect, Fernando Arbós y Tremanti, built it as residence and church for the Augustinian Fathers.
The Santa Barbara church was built in 1757 for the Salesas Reales convent, founded in 1748 by Queen Barbara of Braganza, wife of Ferdinand VI of Spain (1746-1759). The church was designed by Francisco Carlier in collaboration with Francisco Moradillo. In 1870, the monastery was closed and the government used it as the Palace of Justice, now the Supreme Court. In 1891, the church became a parish church.
Popularly known as "Los Jerónimos", the Iglesia Parroquial de San Jerónimo el Real was one of the most important convents in Madrid. The building is now a part of the Prado museum.
