The Colegiata de San Isidro, situated in Madrid's historic centre, is a Catholic church famed for its Baroque architecture and cultural importance. Constructed in the 17th century, it was the provisional cathedral of Madrid until 1993. It is the final resting place of San Isidro, Madrid's patron saint, and his wife, Santa María de la Cabeza. The interior features numerous artistic works, although a fire during the Spanish Civil War destroyed many. Visitors can appreciate its grand façade and exquisite chapels. Entry is free, and guided tours are offered monthly.
