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.
The Church of the Virgin of Amudna was an unexpected discovery for me, and I had not planned to go here, but I had no intention of coming here when I saw the palace, because it was opposite the square of the palace's weapons. The appearance is already very beautiful, and I found it magnificent after I walked in. Really great! Recommended.
The Madrid Palace has activities that are not open, and I went here temporarily. The surprise + worthwhile trip (the church is free, the museum is 6€, and the platform can see the panoramic view of the palace.) Both the exterior and the interior are very beautiful, even if you see the church, you still have a sense of aesthetic fatigue. The postcards bought inside are also surprisingly good-looking!
Another beautiful Catholic church, magnificent in appearance, magnificent in interior, interesting is that it does not open the main entrance, open the side door, the back side is the main altar, I don't know why, rarely see church like this
A typical Iberian Gothic building, magnificent. Probably because of the royal church, the interior decoration is relatively simple compared to other Spanish churches. When I went there, I happened to meet the large mass held during Christmas, personally hosted by the archbishop of Madrid, and a church in Noble was full of people and visitors could listen.
