The Palace of Madrid is very close to the main church of the Virgin, just opposite a small square. Didn't enter the palace because there are too many people in line, and if you have been to Europe to visit museums, etc., it will feel roughly the same, unless you are willing to spend half a day in and watch carefully. But this is an important attraction and you must also come and see. The palace is large, surrounded by fences, only through the ticket purchase channel. There are many "artists" playing music in the square next to it, so people are not bored when queuing. I chose to go to the opposite Notre Dame Church of Amudna. The bottom is free to visit. You need to buy tickets to the top. And there are not many people, there is no need to line up. The decoration inside is very beautiful and exquisite, the color is rich, many glazed glass and statues, the texture is very heavy, it is worth visiting. Fashion Tourism blogger: @kymico_chan

    The Cathedral of the Virgin of Amudena, 300 meters south of the Palace of Madrid, is the youngest and most popular of the many churches in Madrid. The Spanish capital moved from Toledo to Madrid in 1561, but the church center remained in Toledo. The plan to build a main church in the new capital was not implemented until 1879, more than 300 years later. The impact of the war, the design changes, stopped construction, and officially completed in June 1993, became the latest main church in Europe. The magnificent appearance of Baroque style, white + gray plain facade, echoes and mirrors the formal palace. In 2004, the grand wedding of Crown Prince Philip of Spain (currently King Philip VI of Spain) was held here, which made the church more impressive and famous worldwide.

    The spectacular and simple Church of the Virgin of Amudna is next to the palace, the auditorium of King Felipe VI's wedding to the Queen. The white and gray exterior walls are outlined in Phnom Penh, which is very dignified.

    Go to the Cathedral of the Virgin of Amudna, be sure to pay attention to the nearby thief Oh, my friend's mobile phone was almost stolen, and I realized the speed of the three hands here for the first time! But the church building is still very solemn and spectacular. Entering it, someone is doing a service. It feels more sacred. The ice cream near the Ps church tastes very good.

    The Cathedral of Notre Dame of Amudna was an unexpected discovery to me. It had not been planned to be here, but when I was looking at the palace, I had no intention of walking there, because it was just opposite the Palace's Arms Square. The appearance has been very beautiful, and only after entering it can we find its magnificence. It's really great! It is worth recommending.

    The Madrid Palace has activities that are not open, and I went here temporarily. The surprise + worthwhile trip (the church is free, the museum is 6€, and the platform can see the panoramic view of the palace.) Both the exterior and the interior are very beautiful, even if you see the church, you still have a sense of aesthetic fatigue. The postcards bought inside are also surprisingly good-looking!

    It's also a beautiful Catholic church with magnificent appearance and magnificent interior. It's interesting that it doesn't open the main door, but it opens the side door. It's the main altar on the back side. I don't know why, but it seldom happens like this.

    A typical Iberian Gothic building, magnificent. Probably because of the royal church, the interior decoration is relatively simple compared to other Spanish churches. When I went there, I happened to meet the large mass held during Christmas, personally hosted by the archbishop of Madrid, and a church in Noble was full of people and visitors could listen.
