Almudena Cathedral. Madrid
Take a look at the almudena Cathedral during your stay with Habitat Apartments in their apartments in Madrid.
In frond of the Royal Palace is the Almudena Cathedral, the cathedral of Madrid, Spain. Dating from the late 19th and 20th centuries, Almudena Cathedral is very new by European standards, and its traditional-meets-modern design reflects its youth.
The bright interior of Almudena Cathedral is based in the Gothic style, but modern and modest compared to most Spanish cathedrals. Its "pop art" stained glass windows were recently revealed to be copies.
Although lacking the architectural merit or historical significance of other European cathedrals, Almudena Cathedral is nonetheless worth a visit due to its uniqueness, its modern beauty, and its sheer size: it measures 104m long and 76m wide, with a central dome measuring 20m in diameter. The normal price of a ticket includes everything you is 6 €. The discount on the admission fee is € 4 and is valid for groups, disabled, large families, pensioners, students and locals a like.
