Cathedral of Santa Maria de la Almudena in Madrid

Catedral de La Almudena

Catedral de La Almudena

The cathedral of Santa Maria de La Almudena is a stunning temple with a mix of architecture: neoclassical exterior and neogothic interior. Is over 70 meters tall and is built with stone from Novelda (Alicante) and granite from Colmenar Viejo (Madrid).

Its peculiarities are that is the only cathedral in Spain that has been consecrated by a pope and that they took more than 110 years to build it(the King Alfonso XII was the one who laid the foundation stone in 1883).

His first architect was Francisco de Cubas, then passed into the hands of other great artists.

Located in the beautiful city center, just opposite the magnificent Royal Palace.

The number 52 bus ends in front of Our Lady of mercy church in madrid. They have Mass at 11:00 AM every Sunday and it is an EXPERIENCE! What a great choir and the place is fulll of people from all over the world. One of the best homilies I EVER heard was there. It is worth the visit!! And you can go to confession after Mass, no problem. A compassionate and kind priest,

Confessions in English maybe (with a Spanish priest it depends on their level of English), but Mass in English, no. See www.ourladyofmercy.info for Mass times - only church in Madrid with Mass in English by native English-speaking priest.
