Free to go in and worth seeing if open. (Have lunch on a nearby terrace along the river or with views of the river. Then maybe head to the teleferico where you can tid over the dos de mayo cemetery / church / wall featured in that painting.) The works of Goya are really impressive. His tomb is also front and center. Kind of relaxing. Takes no more than 10 to 20 minutes. Not really a place you want to take toddlers as there isn't much for them to look at, and no place where it feels like you can let them run around. If they make noise, the space is small and everyone will hear and see it, and not the Spanish type space where people will enjoy that. (Though employees were lovely with ours.)

A peaceful little Chapel containing the tomb of the painter Goya, gazed down on by the distinctive beady eyes of nymphs and cherubs in frescoes painted by the artist. Enjoyment moderately diminished by the 15 minute wait for entry because the Chapel was filled by a tour group being bored stiff by the superfluous commentary of their verbose guide piped into their earbuds. Commentary unnecessary. Just sit and contemplate. Note to management. Ban tour guides. Note: photography not allowed. Just looking.

Hay dos ermitas idénticas. La segunda que se edificó en 1928 es copia de la original que se levantó para preservar las pinturas de Goya y dedicarla al culto y reservar la original como museo. La ermita es la única que queda de las tres dedicadas a San Antonio en Madrid. Las pinturas murales que la decoran son de Francisco de Goya que además alberga los restos mortales del artista desde 1919. Yo la visitado en varias ocasiones porque sin duda merece la pena contemplar los frescos del artista que decoró la cúpula con escenas que representan el trance del Santo ante el pueblo de Lisboa. Los retablos fueron pintados posteriormente por Jacinto Gómez Pastor. La parte mas llamativa de las pinturas es su cúpula en dónde representa el milagro de San Antonio de Padua. Esta obra tiene 6 metros de diámetro. En ella se ven las figuras del difunto, los padres del santo y el propio San Antonio, apreciándose el paisaje y consiguiendo la ilusión de estar a cielo abierto. Hay cuatro espejos repartidos por la sala desde dónde se puede ver estas pinturas más cercanas.

REAL ERMITA DE SAN ANTONIO DE LA FLORIDA Templo del Real Sitio de la Florida, ordenado edificar por el Rey Carlos IV con bóvedas pintadas por Francisco de Goya en 1.798. En ellas se representa un famoso milagro de San Antonio de Padua y constituyen una de las obras maestras del artista, testimonio brillantísimo de su extraordinaria libertad creadora. Desde 1.919 esta Ermita alberga la tumba de Francisco de Goya. Por razones de conservación y para posibilitar el culto parroquial, en 1.928 se construyó la nueva Ermita gemela y simétrica. Chapel of the Royal Seat of La Florida, built on the instructions of King Carlos IV, with ceilings painted by Francisco de Goya in 1798. They portray a celebrated miracle by St. Antony of Padua and constitute one of the artist's masterpieces, a brilliant testimony to his extraordinary creative freedom. Since 1919 this Chapel has contained the tomb of Francisco de Goya. For reasons of conservation and to enable parish worship to take place, the new symmetrical twin Chapel was built in 1928.

This is a hidden off the beaten track marvel. We reached it by taking a short bus ride from the center. There is no entrance fee nor too many visitors. Goya’s paintings cover the ceilings and it was made during his creative peak. Personally this has to be one of the most enjoyable and fulfilling experiences art ever gave me.

Impressive al fresco paintings of Goya, who is buried in this place. There is a very nice video explaining the history of the church and the paintings although it is in Spanish, so it's worth it to read some info before. There are some mirrors that help to have a better look at the paintings.
