The Almudena Cathedral is a striking Roman Catholic cathedral located in the heart of Madrid, directly opposite the Royal Palace. Its architecture blends neoclassical, neo-Gothic, and neo-Romanesque styles, reflecting its long construction history that began in the late 19th century and concluded in 1993. Inside, the cathedral features a modern and colourful interior that contrasts with its traditional exterior, including vibrant stained glass, contemporary chapels, and a notably bright, airy nave. It is one of Madrid’s most important religious landmarks and a key symbol of the city's historical and cultural identity.
