Royal Chapel of St. Anthony of La Florida
Ermita de San Antonio de la Florida
Known as “Goya’s Sistine Chapel,” it features dome frescoes painted by Goya, and the artist is buried here.
A small neoclassical chapel built at the end of the 18th century. Goya painted its dome and vault frescoes in 1798, depicting the miracle of St. Anthony bringing the dead back to life. The onlookers are ordinary Madrid citizens of the time, vividly portrayed. Goya’s remains were moved here in 1919. Admission is free. It is open roughly 9:30 to 20:00 from Tuesday to Sunday and closed on Mondays. It is about 1.5 km from the Royal Palace and the Temple of Debod, and a 5-minute walk from Príncipe Pío metro station.
