Palace of the Marquis of Miraflores
As in many other works by Ribera, the main door stands out especially, in baroque style, highly ornamented with a balcony at the top and crowning the whole, the shield of the marquis.
Baroque cover of the Monte de Piedad
On February 12, 1713, Philip V formalized the founding of the institution, and granted it some houses in the Plaza de las Descalzas to install its offices, which opened to the public on May 1, 1724. Of the complex, what stood out most was the attached chapel, for whose access, Pedro de Ribera made the beautiful baroque doorway that we enjoy today, in 1733.
Palace of Santona
The Santoña Palace sits on a building built in the 16th century, in the last years of the reign of Charles V, on the corner of Huertas and Príncipe streets, and has a long history behind it. It was later renovated in the 18th century by the architect Pedro de Ribera, to whom we owe its magnificent façade and its current exterior image, and another major renovation in the 19th century by Antonio Ruiz de Salces.
Church of San José
In that space, in 1730 Pedro de Ribera was entrusted with the construction of a church with the Carmelite convent attached to it. It is a large work with a very ornate façade, a clear exponent of the Ribera baroque style, a barrel nave and a dome. The works were completed in 1748 by José de Arredondo and Fausto Manso.
Headquarters of Conde Duque
There is no unanimity regarding the name of the barracks. For Mesonero Romanos it was due to the count-duke of Olivares, a valid servant of Philip IV. Another option says that the name comes from his settlement on a plot of land that was the palace of the Count of Aranda and Duke of Peñaranda.
Madrid History Museum. Royal Hospice of Ave Maria.
The Royal Hospice of Ave María and Santo Rey Don Fernando is a construction from the 1721th century, during the reign of Philip V, between 1726 and 1673. The Hospice had been founded in XNUMX, with only the Chapel preserved from this first period, where it is exhibited Luca Giordano's magnificent canvas of Saint Ferdinand before the Virgin painted for her. Work of one of our best-known architects Pedro de Ribera, it stands out for its baroque façade, an example of the Churrigueresque style.
