Cathedral was closed
I just returned from a trip to Madrid, Spain. I was very excited about seeing the Cathedral de la Almudena, as I enjoy visiting all cathedrals when in Europe. I was unaware that the cathedral was closed due to construction. They are installing a new floor, so only the crypt in the lower level was open. I was very disappointed. Otherwise, Madrid is a beautiful city, the buildings, people, and the shopping were great. I would go back if I had a chance.

Another cathedral
Not to slight the place, but we just took a 2-wk guided group tour throughout Spain, and if you are going to see cathedrals in Toledo, Seville, Granada, Barcelona, etc. you could skip this one and spend more time at the Royal Palace next door or walk through Plaza Mayor.

Madrid's cathedral
Madrid's cathedral is located alongside the Royal Palace. It was designed in 1879 by the Marques of Cubas in neo-gothic style and has a romanesque crypt. The construction work was renewed in 1946 by the architects Carlos Sidro and Fernando Chueca Goitia in a neo-baroque style that covered the already built neo-gothic part.
