This church is dedicated to Madrid's own saint, Saint Isidro, who some of his remains are held here. It was built in the 1600's with baroque architectural style. It is located just south of the center of Madrid, near Plaza Mayor. Pedro Sánchez was the original builder in 1620. These two towers are about the same hight and help make the distinctive church more noticeable in the city.
