Monastery of Las Descalzas Reales
A working convent hiding one of Madrid's richest art collections. Founded in 1559 by a daughter of Emperor Charles the Fifth, it drew royal nuns who brought treasures by Titian and Brueghel. Behind a plain facade wait a frescoed staircase and rooms heavy with gold.
