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.

Une cathédrale construite au XX e siècle en contrôlant les dépenses, forcément, ça n'a pas la même allure qu'une cathédrale du Moyen Age où tout l'argent passait dans la construction, du coup la cathédrale n'est pas très impressionnante. Le musée est intéressant, et offre une belle vue sur le palais royal à côté
