«Capilla del Obispo» is the historical essay by Emilio Guerra Chavarino, published by Ediciones La Librería in paperback (83 pages, in Spanish).
It studies the Capilla del Obispo, an example of Madrid's Gothic architecture built in the early 16th century in Plaza de la Paja to house the remains of Saint Isidore the Labourer. It reviews the figure of the saint, the role of Francisco de Vargas and his son, Bishop Gutierre, and analyses the building and its decoration with numerous images.
Published in 2011. Dedicated to Our Lady and Saint John Lateran, the chapel was ceded to the people of Madrid by the Duchess of Alba and remained closed from 1924 until its reopening in 2010.
A book for those interested in the history of Madrid, Gothic architecture and religious heritage.
