The Cathedral of Saint Mary the Royal of the Almudena (/ælˈmudɛnə/), commonly known as the Almudena Cathedral for short, is a Roman Catholic cathedral in Madrid, the capital city of Spain. It is the seat of the Archdiocese of Madrid. A fairly young cathedral by Spanish standards, its construction began in 1883 and finished over a century later, when it was consecrated by Pope John Paul II in 1993.[1]

It is located opposite the Royal Palace and much of its final appearance was defined considering this regal surrounding.[2]
