摘要：Summary: This paper, framing its atmosphere in the town of Madrid (Spain) in times of King Phillip II (1556-1598), analyses some reminder and cult places in honour of the Holy Patron of the place, Saint Isidor the Peasant (San Isidro Labrador): the water source, his nearby Hermitage, and the burial place, regarding which mention is made of the exhibition of his incorrupt body. Thought is given to the importance of these spaces as a system of promoting his cult and generating a religious identity related to him in Madrid, which, since 1561 was an immigration town which housed the Court in a stable manner. The town concentrated a heterogeneous bundle of foreigners, mainly Moriscos and Christians, for whose convivial state the town Hall had to care.
After an introduction on the context of the miracles tradition attributes to Saint Isidor and his canonisation, a thought is given to the memorial and cult places. Later on, mention is made of certain municipal arrangements regarding material works which were built, or repaired, in the town in honour of the Saint, mainly after special attention had been given to the Saint’s incorrupt body and its public exhibition.
