Museo de San Isidro

Frommer's Review

Situated in San Andrés square in the heart of the Austrias, this more recent addition to Madrid's historical museums contains interesting perspectives on the city's progress through the ages, via Paleolithic, Roman, and Muslim eras to the present day, using plans, sketches, models, paintings, and archaeological finds transferred from the Municipal Museum. The museum stands on the site where San Isidro, Madrid's patron saint, is said to have rescued his son from a well, into which the latter had fallen, by making the water rise. The well, purportedly the original, is located in the middle of the building.
