San Andrés, Capillas de San Isidro and Obispo

Atmospheric religious complex in old Madrid

Iglesia de San Andrés, Madrid

This little complex of churches and chapels is one of the hidden gems of the city. The Iglesia de San Andrés was built on the site of an ancient church in the 17th century but was badly damaged by an anarchist attack during the Spanish Civil War.

The stunning dome and columns of the Baroque Capilla de San Isidro, which once held the remains of the city's patron saint, have since been faithfully restored. Alongside is the Gothic Capilla del Obispo which can be visited twice a week on special guided tours.
