La basilica reale di San Francesco il Grande (in spagnolo: Real Basílica de San Francisco el Grande) è un importante luogo di culto cattolico di Madrid. Domina il lato occidentale della Plaza de San Francisco e appartiene al convento francescano di Gesù e Maria, fondato all'inizio del XIII secolo, sopra un eremitaggio scomparso dedicato a santa Maria.
La basilica fu costruita in stile tardobarocco, con un influsso già neoclassico, nella seconda metà del XVIII secolo, a partire da un progetto di Francisco Cabezas, sviluppato da Antonio Pló e portato a termine da Francesco Sabatini. L'edificio si distingue per la sua cupola, la più grande di Spagna e che, al momento della sua costruzione (1761) era anche la quarta più grande fra le cupole a pianta circolare della cristianità; per la sua sontuosa decorazione interna, realizzata in stile eclettico alla fine del XIX secolo; per la sua pinacoteca, rappresentativa della pittura spagnola fra il XVII e XIX secolo, con quadri di Zurbarán e Goya.
We have seen over 30 church/cathedrals over the last 3 months. This is by far the most impressive!! Lovely staff and amazing back rooms as well. Looks unassuming from the outside but breathtaking inside

A truly beautiful basilica. It does seem to adhere to the Spanish siesta schedule

Our experience was very pleasant. The guy who was selling tickets was very friendly and probably because we are students the tickets were €2 instead of €3. We were requested to join the guide who only spoke Spanish. But thanks to him we saw places inside the church you wouldn't see without him. The tour was almost 40 minutes, but you could leave whenever you wished. Visiting this place is definitely recommended.

Absolutely beautiful, and the tour takes you into the back rooms of the Basilica, but the tour is pointless if you don't speak Spanish. I'm so disappointed.😥

Gorgeous, extremely detailed decoration on the interior. Friendly staff and great tour of the chapels and back rooms included with the ticket! 5€ for adults and 3€ for students.

Lovely church. Bit modern for my taste but it’s very pretty and quiet

A magnificient cathedral with one of the largest domes in Europe. From outside it looks a bit plain but the paintings covering the walls and ceiling are quite amazing. We visited on Sunday and could enter for free. I recommend visiting it.

Beautiful church. 5 euros to enter but I think it's free when there is service going on
