Santa Barbara Church
Santa Barbara Church, Madrid, Spain
This Church was founded by Barbara de Braganza. She was a Portuguese Princess married with Fernando VI, the King of Spain.
In Spain Kings are buried in El Escorial. Queens are also buried there if they have been mothers of Kings. Barbara de Braganza and Fernando VI didn't have children. Therefore Barbara de Braganza was buried in this Church.

Fernando VI was so in love with Barbara that he preferred to be buried in this Church rather than in El Escurial.
