Description

Dive into the splendor of Madrid's Baroque with an exclusive experience that will take you to discover two of its most iconic monuments, open exclusively for cultural visits. At San Antonio de los Alemanes, you'll marvel at the finest example of Madrid's Baroque architecture, with its unique elliptical layout and stunning frescoes by masters like Luca Giordano, Carreño de Miranda, and Francisco Rizi. The artistic richness of this space has earned it the nickname of the 'Sistine Chapel' of Madrid, and you can also admire the remarkable sculptures by Manuel Pereira, which complete this unique ensemble. Next, you'll head to the Monastery of San Plácido, one of the city's greatest hidden treasures and part of the Benedictine order. After four centuries closed to the public, this baroque church now opens its doors for you to discover the largest collection of works by Claudio Coello in the world, highlighting the monumental canvas of the Annunciation, almost seven meters high, which presides over the main altar. Enjoy an unforgettable cultural experience and be amazed by the history, art, and spirituality of these two essential places of Madrid's heritage.
