Tour the convent and view paintings by artists like Vincenzo Carducci
Take a guided tour with an official guide through the Monastery of Las Descalzas Reales, a convent founded by the youngest daughter of Charles V. This is where she was born and died. See a collection of paintings by Flemish, Italian, and Spanish artists like Vincenzo Carducci and Antonio Moro. View "La Dolorosa" and "Ecce Homo" by Pedro de Mena. Throughout the chapels, see figures made of corn dough or ivory. The tour includes part of the tapestry collection commissioned by Isabel Clara Eugenia in Belgium, based on the works of Peter Paul Rubens, to decorate the convent's church.
