A
place
of
prayer
on
Fuencarral
street,
open,
depends
on
the
neighboring
church
of
San
Antón,
of
Father
Ángel.
It
is
called
Humilladero
de
Nuestra
Señora
de
la
Soledad.
In
the
17th
century,
between
the
Puerta
de
la
Verca
of
Felipe
IV
and
the
oldest
of
the
Red
de
San
Luis,
Fuencarral
street
emerged,
buildings
were
built
around
it.
On
that
road
there
was
a
humiliation
where
the
Virgin
was
venerated,
where
walkers
went
to
pray.
It
was
located
at
the
height
of
Santa
María
del
Arco
street.
In
that
place,
a
humiliation
was
built
in
1712
by
the
Marquis
of
Navahermosa,
owner
of
the
adjacent
house.
The
humiliation
was
built
in
its
stables.
It
was
a
small
building
with
a
semicircular
arch
at
its
entrance
and
an
altarpiece
presided
over
by
the
Virgin
of
Soledad
flanked
by
Ionic
columns.
The
name
comes
from
the
fact
that
the
faithful
bowed
or
kneeled
as
a
sign
of
humility.
Today
it
is
entrusted
to
the
Church
of
San
Antón,
a
church
open
24
hours
a
day.
Inside
they
highlight:
-In
the
altarpiece
of
the
altar
the
painting
of
the
Virgen
de
la
Soledad
or
Virgen
de
la
Paloma,
anonymous,
is
believed
to
date
from
the
17th
century.
-The
Holy
Christ
of
Consuelo,
anonymous
polychrome
life-size
carving.
16th
or
17th
century.

As
a
curiosity,
Benito
Pérez
Galdós,
in
his
first
novel,
published
in
1870
(La
Fontana
de
Oro),
refers
to
the
Santísimo
Cristo
del
Consuelo
as
the
Christ
of
the
Wounds:
3
images
come
out
of
San
Antón,
and
they
say
that
it
is
also
very
probable
let
the
Christ
of
the
Wounds
come
out
of
the
chapel
of
Santa
María
del
Arco...
