5/5 Lourdes Lucía N. 2 years ago on Google
I’ve
only
been
here
for
a
few
days,
but
this
has
to
be
my
favorite
church
in
Madrid.
It
is
a
perfect
example
of
perfectly
combining
both
traditional
and
more
modern
liturgical
art.
The
ceilings
and
stained
glass
are
colorful
and
geometric
but
don’t
feel
out
of
place.
Side
chapels
offer
glimpses
into
the
lives
of
certain
Spanish
saints.
Classical,
traditional
framed
artwork
is
hung
around.
You
obviously
must
visit
La
Almudena
which
has
a
staircase
leading
up
and
down
the
figure
of
the
Virgin.
Confessions
are
offered
in
English
according
to
some
signage,
however
while
I
was
there,
the
only
priest
who
was
available
spoke
Spanish,
German,
and
French
I
think.
I
was
able
to
make
my
confession
as
best
I
could
in
Spanish,
to
which
the
priest
was
very
gracious
and
sympathetic
despite
my
difficulties.
Mass
is
also
offered
here.
I’ve
included
pictures
of
the
current
schedule.
The
Cathedral
cannot
be
toured
during
Mass
which
is
a
nice
measure
to
maintain
reverence
since
this
is
not
just
a
tourist
sight
but
a
place
of
worship.
Photography
is
allowed
except
in
one
of
the
chapels
which
houses
the
Blessed
Sacrament
and
has
signage
indicating
it
is
for
prayer
only.
Please
visit
and
make
sure
to
offer
at
least
a
small
donation
to
help
maintain
this
beautiful
location.
