JERÓNIMOS-RETIRO The Gallery
Jerónimos-Retiro, Madrid
The neighborhood of Los Jerónimos, Madrid's architectural jewel, forms together with the Paseo del Prado and the majestic Retiro Park the iconic "Landscape of Light", designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2021 in the category of Arts and Sciences. This area is a living tribute to the cultural and natural splendor of the capital, where the majesty of its architecture coexists with the serenity of one of the most beautiful urban parks in Europe.
Largely dominated by the natural beauty of the Retiro, Los Jerónimos offers a markedly stately vocation and stands out for its elegant period buildings, the result of the vision of architects such as José Segundo de Lema, Eduardo de Adaro and José Marañón Gómez-Acebo. Surrounded by history, art and an exceptional green environment, this exclusive enclave is synonymous with distinction and harmony, a place where nature and sophistication intertwine to offer a unique experience in the heart of Madrid.
"It's a historic neighborhood that has everything. Plus, you're within walking distance of Retiro Park, which is like the green lung of the city, where you can exercise, take leisurely strolls or just relax."

Why Jerónimos-Retiro?
Natalia Perez Residential Sales Agent
"Jerónimos is a paradise in the middle of the capital that owes its name to the wonderful Church of San Jerónimo. Surrounded by the Retiro Park, the Botanical Garden and the Plaza de la Lealtad, it is one of the most elegant residential areas of Madrid. It enjoys a privileged location, a stone's throw from the historic center and the Salamanca district. It is also home to three of the capital's most iconic museums: the Museo Nacional del Prado, the Thyssen-Bornemisza and the Museo Naval".

"For me, one of the most unique neighborhoods in Madrid and one of the best to live in. It has "everything" and, at the same time, "nothing"... "Everything" in green spaces, architecture and its two great jewels: the Prado Museum and the Royal Botanical Garden, and "nothing" in terms of overcrowding or hustle and bustle. Here one breathes peace and tranquility. Just a few steps away, the Puerta de Alcalá offers a select choice of restaurants and the best atmosphere in Madrid for a memorable lunch or dinner. Its great green lung, the Retiro Park, is perfect to enjoy a relaxing stroll among gardens or to play sports in a privileged environment. Walking through its streets is considered a pleasure for many, and living in its homes, the privilege of a few.
Maria Cecilia Romero-Lozada Premium Properties Consultant.
"If you were looking for a place to live in Madrid, I would definitely recommend the Jerónimos area. It is a historic neighborhood that has everything. Also, you are within walking distance of the Retiro Park, which is like the green lung of the city, where you can exercise, take leisurely strolls or just relax. And if you like culture, you have the Prado Museum, the Reina Sofia and the Thyssen just a few minutes walk away. It's wonderful! The area itself is very quiet and elegant. You can find restaurants and boutiques of luxury. The best thing is that, although it's close to everything, the atmosphere is more relaxed and less noisy than in other more central areas."
