Catedral Ortodoxa Rusa de Santa María Magdalena

    Information

    Built in 2013, this Neo-byzantine style temple, headquarters of the Russian Orthodox Church in Madrid, has been considered to be a cathedral since 2019. The impressive and stylish building, which rises up on  a plot of 756 square metres, has five gold domes crowned by five crosses,  raised on some white turrets.

    Close to the Pinar del Rey metro station, the orthodox cathedral offers different religious  services throughout the week and offers mass in the Orthodox  rite on Saturday evenings and Sunday mornings, as well as some Wednesday and Friday evenings. Furthermore, there is a free guided visit in Spanish at 5pm on Saturdays.

    The temple not only brings together loyal Russians in Madrid, but also other  Slavic believers, so some prayers are said in different languages during the services (Church Slavonic, Armenian, Georgian, Moldovan, English, Ukrainian and Spanish).
