Neo-Baroque building with neoclassical exterior and neo-Gothic interior, featuring a Romanesque crypt
The initial project dates from 1879 and was designed by the Marquis of Cuba. A neo-Gothic building with a Romanesque crypt was planned, but the project was abandoned until 1946. Architects Carlos Sidro and Fernando Chueca Goitia took over the construction, this time in a neobaroque style. It was completed in 1993 and inaugurated by Pope John Paul II. In the end, from the outside it is neoclassical, while from the inside it is neo-gothic. The crypt is rather Romanesque.

Imposante d'extérieur, ce qui était indispensable face au palais, elle n' a rien de très particulier à l'intérieur, si ce n'est de grands vitraux modernes très lumineux par beau temps.
Entrée quasi gratuite (une obole est demandée).
Si vous allez au palais royal, faites le détour par cette cathédrale.
