Welcome to Madrid

Nuestra Señora de Loreto School was originally founded in 1541 by King Philip II on Calle Atocha, for the education of poor girls. King Philip IV later transformed it into a school for the education of daughters of the military and employees at the Royal Palace.

Its current headquarters in the Salamanca District were built between 1889 and 1898 by architect Juan Bautista Lázaro in a rationalist style, brick with neo-gothic influence. This style was typical of late 19^th-century Madrid churches.
