Muy cerca del Palacio Real se levanta una de las iglesias más bellas de Madría, la del Real Monasterio de la Encarnación, fundado por la reina Margarita de Austria, esposa de Felipe III. El motivo parece que fue para recordar la expulsión por parte de su real esposo de los moriscos de España. En 1616, aunque habiendo muerto la reina, el rey Felipe III con gran esplendor cortesano inauguró el Monasterio. El arquitecto de la corte, fray Alberto de la Madre de Dios fue el encargado de las obras, dentro de un severo estilo herreriano.
