Catedral de la Almudena
I love that the capital of a Catholic empire didn't consecrate its cathedral until 1993. The building wears that strange, halting history.
Madrid's cathedral — astonishingly, only finished in 1993, after a century of stops and starts. Neo-Gothic outside, oddly modern and colourful within. The capital that got its cathedral late.
