Wikipedia: The Royal Chapel of St. Anthony of La Florida or Real Ermita de San Antonio de la Florida is a Neoclassic chapel in central Madrid, that is best known for its ceiling and dome frescoes by, as well as being the burial place of the painter Goya. The chapel was built in the general location of two prior chapels built in the 1730s, which were the lands of the farm of La Florida. The present structure was built by Felipe Fontana on orders of King Carlos IV, who commissioned the frescoes by Goya and his assistant.
