Church
Iglesia de San Jerónimo el Real
C. de Moreto, 4, Retiro, 28014 Madrid
Late Gothic royal church where heirs to the Spanish throne once swore their oaths and a king was married.
This guide to Iglesia de San Jerónimo el Real in Madrid centers on May 31, 1906, when King Alfonso XIII married Princess Victoria Eugenie of Battenberg inside this narrow Gothic church beside the Prado, continuing a tradition of royal oaths sworn here since Philip II. It follows the grand stone staircase built specially for the day, and the wedding procession that set out afterward through the streets of Madrid. Stand where the vows were spoken before you trace where the couple went next.
