About the Almudena Cathedral
Almudena Cathedral is the Catholic cathedral of Madrid and the seat of its archdiocese. It faces the Royal Palace, and the look of its finished exterior was settled with that royal setting in mind. The cathedral is dedicated to the Virgin of Almudena. Work began in 1883, apparently where a medieval mosque had stood until its destruction in 1083.
Francisco de Cubas designed it, at first as a parish church. A bull from Pope Leo XIII in 1885 created the Madrid-Alcalá bishopric and the plans became those of a Gothic Revival cathedral. The Civil War halted work, and the site then sat abandoned until 1950. That year Fernando Chueca Goitia reworked the design with a baroque exterior to match the gray and white front of the palace across the way. Pope John Paul II consecrated the finished building in 1993.
Inside, the Neo-Gothic interior holds chapels and statues by contemporary artists in a mix of styles, with mosaics in the Blessed Sacrament Chapel and icons in the apse. The Neo-Romanesque crypt keeps a 16th-century image of the Virgin of Almudena. In 2004 the cathedral was the setting for the marriage of crown prince Felipe to Letizia Ortiz Rocasolano.
