[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
It was a late summer afternoon and the sun was lightening Madrid's La Almudena Cathedral, located alongside the Royal Palace, in a beautiful, somehow surrealistic way.
Santa Marķa la Real de La Almudena is a Catholic cathedral and 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.
The work was finally terminated in 1993 and the Cathedral was consecrated by Pope John Paul II on June 15, 1993.
