Royal Chapel of St. Anthony of La Florida

Despite its historical importance, many people don’t know about the Royal Chapel of St. Anthony of La Florida and end up skipping it during their visit. Located in the central part of the city, this Neoclassical building is famous for Francisco Goya’s frescoes decorating its dome and ceiling. The chapel is also the Spanish Painter’s final resting place.

Quinta de los Molinos Park

Madrid is full of stunning parks and green spaces, but lesser-known Quinta de los Molinos Park has to be one of the most impressive. The place is best known for its almond trees that provide spectacular scenery when in bloom. It also offers plenty of opportunities for walks and outdoor activities.

Cine Dore

A visit to Cine Dore will take you back in time, thanks to the cinema’s early 20th-century vibe. Its vintage interior and exterior decorations provide a one-of-a-kind atmosphere, and it will be one movie-going experience you won’t forget anytime soon.  

Iglesia Patolica

One of the more intriguing hidden gems in Madrid is Iglesia Patolica. This is actually a church that is devoted to a religion that worships a rubber duck. The place is open to visit several days a week.
