Popularly known as "Los Jerónimos", its official name is the Parish Church of San Jerónimo el Real. It is located next to the Prado Museum, at the back, and is in the late Gothic style with Renaissance influences from the early 16th century. Although little remains of the original building as over the centuries it has been remodeled and restored on numerous occasions. Its name refers to its special relationship with the kings of Spain. To begin with, it was built by order of the Catholic Monarchs and throughout history it became a place of spiritual retreat for several monarchs. Furthermore, for centuries it has been the scene of royal investitures in the absence of a cathedral and the wedding of Alfonso XIII was also celebrated here, for which the large staircase leading to its door was built in 1906.
