It might seem small compared to the Royal Palace next door, but once you are inside, Almudena Cathedral dwarfs you. It also surprises with its modern religious art.
Walking past the enormous Royal Palace on Bailén street, the church next door almost seems like a miniature building in comparison. It is only when you enter the cathedral that you realize the size of it. The ceiling is high above you, the aisles are spacious, and since there is a lot of light entering the cathedral, thanks to its location with an unobstructed western side, the feeling of space is all around you. While the building gives the impression of a classical Gothic cathedral, a closer, more careful look will reveal that this is actually a modern cathedral. Colourful patterns decorate the ceiling, some of the stained glass windows have a modern-art feel, and the apse has brightly coloured decorations strikingly different from what you find in most churches.
