Give your personal opinion, but support it using the buildings and exampled what you have studied to defend your ideas.  During the 16th and 17th centuries, society in Madrid was organized by three estates: the most privileged estates were the clergy and the nobles, who didn’t pay taxes, although they were very rich, were related with politics and had a very good life. The only non-privileged estate was compound by peasants, bourgeoisie and other workers, who paid taxes, couldn't be on politics and lived in bad conditions. In this last group, the bourgeoisie were the only ones who were a bit rich and lived a good life, while they were bankers or traders.
 * __BIG QUESTION:__**
 * 1**. In what ways society organized in Madrid during the Modern Age?
 * 2**. What did the people who built the buildings hope to show with their structures?
 * 3**. What role did religion play in 16th and 17th century society? Was it a private and personal matter? Or, was it related to social status?

The architests who were rich and good in their jobs were ordered by a noble, a duke or a king to build the desired buildings. In the case of the Parroquia de San Ginés, the person who paid and ordered to built it was an architest (Jose Luis Marín), to have a place to pray in the Calle Arenal. Also, the buildings could be ordered to build by some archbishops, like Lorenzo Reinoso with the Iglesia de San Pedro el Viejo, or Luis Jaime of Bourbon y Farnesio with the Basílica de San Miguel. The dukes who ordered and paid buildings were the Dukes of Uceda, who wanted to show their power through Christopher Gomez de Sandoval-Rojas, the first of them, creating the Palacio de los Consejos. One example of a noble family who lived in Madrid was the Lujanes family; they had a house in the centre of Madrid, the Casa and Torre de los Lujanes, and celebrated their events in the Museo de San Isidro, paid by Alvaro Lujan, a rich member of the family.

In that times, religion was related to social status because rich people ordered to built religious buildings, like parishes or churches, to pray God and give mass feeling Christianity. To show their power in religion, the clergy received a tithe from peasants, who had to pay the Church.
