A lovely small chapel, the interior entirely frescoed by Goya himself, and his sarcophagus here as well. A hidden gem.
We walked across from the Plaza Mayor area, via the Royal Palace where the mounted guard was changing, through the adjoining gardens and then along the river to reach the Hermitage. It is definitely worth a short visit and the walk in itself was very enjoyable in the April sunshine.
Very glad to have visited this tiny museum that holds such uplifting and beautiful frescoes by Goya, one of Spain's best, on our last day in Madrid.

Whilst walking on the street/road Paseo de la Florida I came across a very small Church, which is the burial place of the great Spanish artist Goya - some even say it is the "Sistine Chapel of Madrid"; rightly named, as the tiny Chapel ceiling was painted by Goya. The ceiling...

This is a very small hermitage where Goya's mortal remains lie surrounded by stunning frescoes painted by the man.
The frescoes are well preserved and have a real vibrancy about them. Mirrors help you get the best view of the dome which tells the story of the miracle of St Anthony.
Not much information was on show when we visited...

The ceiling of the Hermitage has frescoes painted by Goya and they make this place very special. It is also a memorial to Goya, one of Spain's main artistic geniuses.
