Almudena is a Catholic church in Madrid, Spain. When the Spanish capital was transferred from Toledo to Madrid in 1561, the Spanish church remained in Toledo, and the new capital did not have a cathedral. Plans to build the Cathedral of Notre Dame Almudena were discussed in Madrid as early as the 16th century, but although Spain built more than 40 cities in the New World in that century, the cathedrals and fortresses were numerous, expanding and preserving the cost of the Empire first, Construction of the cathedral in Madrid was delayed. Therefore, making the cathedral the world's largest is a priority. All other major cities in Spain have centuries old churches, and Madrid has old churches, but the construction of Almudena began in 1879. The cathedral was not completed until 1993, when it was dedicated by Pope John Paul II.

    The Cathedral of the Virgin of Amudena, 300 meters south of the Palace of Madrid, is the youngest and most popular of the many churches in Madrid. The Spanish capital moved from Toledo to Madrid in 1561, but the church center remained in Toledo. The plan to build a main church in the new capital was not implemented until 1879, more than 300 years later. The impact of the war, the design changes, stopped construction, and officially completed in June 1993, became the latest main church in Europe. The magnificent appearance of Baroque style, white + gray plain facade, echoes and mirrors the formal palace. In 2004, the grand wedding of Crown Prince Philip of Spain (currently King Philip VI of Spain) was held here, which made the church more impressive and famous worldwide.

    The spectacular and simple Church of the Virgin of Amudna is next to the palace, the auditorium of King Felipe VI's wedding to the Queen. The white and gray exterior walls are outlined in Phnom Penh, which is very dignified.

    Go to the Cathedral of the Virgin of Amudna, be sure to pay attention to the nearby thief Oh, my friend's mobile phone was almost stolen, and I realized the speed of the three hands here for the first time! But the church building is still very solemn and spectacular. Entering it, someone is doing a service. It feels more sacred. The ice cream near the Ps church tastes very good.

    There are many churches in Spain. You can see a church in a few steps at a corner. In fact, different churches will have some differences, but I can't see where the difference is.

    Not very Catholic, but the grandeur of this church is breathtaking.

    The Cathedral of Notre Dame of Amudna was an unexpected discovery to me. It had not been planned to be here, but when I was looking at the palace, I had no intention of walking there, because it was just opposite the Palace's Arms Square. The appearance has been very beautiful, and only after entering it can we find its magnificence. It's really great! It is worth recommending.
