Does Madrid Have a Cathedral? Yes—Meet the Almudena Cathedral

Yes. Madrid's cathedral is the Catedral de Santa María la Real de la Almudena, commonly called Almudena Cathedral.

  • Construction began: 1879
  • Completed & consecrated: 1993 (by Pope John Paul II)
  • Style: Neo-Gothic exterior, Neo-Romanesque crypt, modern interior
  • Location: Adjacent to the Royal Palace, on Calle de Bailén

It is the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Madrid and a major landmark—though surprisingly young for a European capital's cathedral.
