ALMUDENA CATHEDRAL, Interior

As soon as you enter the actual temple, you'll note that the interior has a very different style from the exterior: outside it's Neo-Renaissance, inside it's Neo-Gothic.

Look how slender and powerfully vertical the architectural structure is, which is divided into three naves and has the same elongated cross shape that you already saw in the crypt. Note also the striking contrast between the bare white wall and contrasting notes of almost fluorescent color that appear here and there, in addition to the beautiful effect of the gold leaves on the painted ceiling. These are inspired by the style of traditional Arabesque-style ceilings called "mudéjares".

To properly admire the "decorative rainbow", sit down on a bench near the main altar and take in the impressive green marble altar and precious Baroque sculpture of the "Crucified Christ" which stand out against the cathedral's background. The bright murals and stained glass windows made in 2004 will leave your mouth hanging wide open....
