The Cathedral of Madrid, in the Madrid of the Habsburgs, has a short but intense history. The first plans of the church were drawn in 1879 by Francisco de Cubas with the idea that it would serve as a pantheon for the late queen María de la Mercedes. The first stone was laid in 1883 but when Pope Leo XIII granted the bull in 1885 by which the Bishopric of Madrid-Alcalá was created, the church project was transformed into a cathedral.

The construction of the Catedral de Santa Maria la Real de la Almudena took a spectacular 110 years. It was not until 1992 that the building was finally completed.
The cathedral bears the name of Almudena, female patron saint of the city. Many girls in Madrid are named after her.

Beautiful cathedral inside and out. Surrounded by beautiful parks and monuments and of course the Royal Palace itself. €1 entry fee to this imposing place.
