029-Catedral_De_La_Almudena_Panorama1.jpg
Looking up at the bell towers of the Almundena Cathedral. The Almudena Cathedral is pretty new. Construction began in 1883 and finished in 1993. The cathedral is dedicated to the Virgin of Almudena, which was a statue of Mary that was worshiped for centuries with lots of lore surrounding it. It likely was a site of a medieval mosque that was destroyed in 1083 when Alfonso VI reconquered Madrid. (Fun fact: Al-Mudayna is Arabic for "the citadel".)
