The cathedral showcases a blend of neo-romanesque, neo-gothic, and neoclassical architectural styles, with notable contributions by Francisco de Cubas, its architect. Construction began in 1883 and it was officially opened in 1993, dedicated to the Virgin of Almudena. The building serves as the main church of the Madrid archdiocese and features an impressive dome and facade that highlight its architectural grandeur.

It is an important religious landmark with royal connections, having been consecrated by Pope John Paul II in 1993. The interior combines historical and modern design elements and includes significant artworks linked to its religious function. The cathedral remains an active place of worship and is open to the public.

The structure stands as a prominent monument reflecting both its spiritual role and its position as a key element of Madrid's religious and architectural heritage.
