San Manuel y San Benito

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.

The Basilica of Our Father Jesus of Medinaceli is located on the site of the former Barefoot Convent of the Trinitarians of Our Lady of the Incarnation. In 1922, the building was demolished because it was in an advanced state of disrepair, and in 1927 the construction of the current basilica, designed by the architect Jesús Carrasco-Muñoz Encina, began. The work was completed in 1930.
