Neo-Baroque style building, with a neoclassical exterior and a neo-Gothic interior, with a Romanesque crypt

The initial project dates from 1879 and was designed by the Marquis of Cuba. A neo-Gothic building with a Romanesque crypt was planned, but the project was abandoned until 1946. Architects Carlos Sidro and Fernando Chueca Goitia took over the construction, this time in a neobaroque style. It was completed in 1993 and inaugurated by Pope John Paul II. In the end, from the outside it is neoclassical, while from the inside it is neo-gothic. The crypt is rather Romanesque.

Cathédrale de la Almudena
La cathédrale est absolument magnifique, de l’intérieur comme de l’extérieur. C’est l’un des plus beaux monuments de Madrid, à visiter absolument !

Une très belle façade, mais l'intérieur est plutôt décevant. La crypte et ses colonnes ont beaucoup plus d'intérêt. En passant par le musée (payant), on accède au balcon où on profite d'une belle vue sur le parvis et la cour du palais.

incroyable
J'en ai vu et revu des cathédrales mais celle-ci est parvenue à encore m'étonner, les jeux de lumières que nous offrent les vitraux sur le sol et les murs ont quelque chose de magique, à ne pas louper

Imposante de sobriété
La cathédrale est imposante de l'extérieur avec son immense coupole et ses tours. A l'intérieur le plafond peint et la coupole sont magnifiques.

lieu grandiose, qui regorge de spiritualité. La religion catholique étant très présente en Espagne, la cathédrale reste un monument très emblematique de Madrid.
