Construction began in December 1868, after the destruction of the first cathedral due to the revolution of the same year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Initially, this cathedral began as a church. It was the Congregaci\u00f3n de Esclavos de la Virgen de la Almudena (Congregation of Slaves of the Virgin of the Almudena) who asked the kings for permission to build this temple on the land in front of the Royal Palace. The architect Francisco de Cubas y Montes was in charge of the construction, while the Marquis of Cubas was in charge of designing the cathedral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This cathedral has <strong>an impressive French neo-Gothic flowery style<\/strong>, giving it a unique atmosphere. Its construction was slow, as the death of the marquis meant that the project had to be handed over to new architects: Enrique Repull\u00e9s y Vargas, Juan Moya and Miguel Olabarr\u00eda. The last reforms were carried out by Carlos Sidro de la Puerta and Fernando Chueca Goitia, who had the opportunity to adapt the cathedral to its surroundings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After 110 years of extensions and modifications, the construction of the Almudena Cathedral was <strong>completed on 15 June 1993<\/strong>. Nowadays, it is one of the most important religious temples in Madrid, with an incredible architectural and ornamental wealth both in its fa\u00e7ade and interior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en?action=modal&amp;target=register&amp;ref=blogpassporter&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=almudena-cathedral&amp;utm_term=1\" style=\"background-color:#2a7057\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">create your itinerary for free with passporter<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-to-see-in-the-almudena-cathedral\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-to-see-in-the-Almudena-Cathedral\"><\/span><strong>What to see in the Almudena Cathedral?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-inside-the-cathedral\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Inside-the-Cathedral\"><\/span><strong>Inside the Cathedral<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As soon as you enter the cathedral, you will be able to see the Latin cross plan structure, with a central nave and two side naves.

It is located just past the main fa\u00e7ade of the cathedral, which is in front of the Royal Palace. The aim of this museum is to <strong>preserve the testimonies of the history of the diocese of Madrid.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During this visit, you will be able to see two of the most important areas of the cathedral: the Sacrist\u00eda Mayor and the Sala Capitular. <strong>You can also visit the permanent exhibition<\/strong> where you can see various religious objects that once belonged to the old parish of Santa Mar\u00eda de la Almudena. Before reaching the dome, you can visit its very interesting art gallery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, if you visit the museum you can access the <strong>dome<\/strong>, more than 70 metres high, where you can enjoy breathtaking views of Madrid. You will also be able to admire the majesty of the Royal Palace and the Plaza de Oriente. You will love it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The price to enter the Almudena Cathedral Museum is \u20ac6 for both the guided tour and the free visit. The price is reduced to \u20ac4 for students, pensioners and residents of Madrid.<\/li><li>Visiting hours to the Almudena Cathedral are from Monday to Friday from 10:30 to 14:00 and from 17:00 to 20:00, while on Saturdays and Sundays it is open from 10:30 to 20:00.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cathedral-Crypt\"><\/span>Cathedral Crypt<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Cathedral Crypt is one of the least visited areas, but no less beautiful or important. You can access it by going down to the <strong>lower part of the cathedral<\/strong>. You will be fascinated by its size and, especially, by the neo-Romanesque style it exudes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can walk through its many corridors decorated with columns, where you can see<strong> different scenes or figures from the Bible and nature <\/strong>represented on their capitals. This room is very well lit, mainly due to its stained glass windows. It will certainly become one of your favourite parts of the Almudena Cathedral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex
