Almudena Cathedral, located in Madrid, Spain, is a striking symbol of religious and architectural significance. Officially known as Santa María la Real de La Almudena, the cathedral was consecrated by Pope John Paul II in 1993. Its construction, which began in 1883, took over a century to complete, resulting in a harmonious blend of various architectural styles, including Neo-Gothic, Neo-Romanesque, and Neo-Classical elements. The cathedral's interior features modern religious art and vibrant stained glass windows, while its crypt, one of the oldest parts, showcases a Neo-Romanesque design.
