Sob a arcada exterior do Palácio Real de Madrid desenha se um corredor monumental de arcos repetidos, marcado pela alternância entre pilares de granito e abóbadas revestidas a tijolo. Esta solução construtiva, comum na arquitetura palaciana do século XVIII, assegura estabilidade e adequada distribuição de cargas, ao mesmo tempo que cria uma perspetiva longa e ritmada, concebida para cerimónias e para circulação protegida. O atual Palácio Real foi erguido no local do antigo Alcázar, destruído por um incêndio em 1734, e tornou se símbolo do poder borbónico e de subsequentes reorganizações urbanas em Madrid. A galeria funciona como transição entre o espaço público e o recinto régio, moderando luz e temperatura e facilitando a leitura dos planos clássicos da fachada. Ao fundo, a presença de figuras em escala humana reforça a monumentalidade do conjunto e a intenção cénica do percurso, projetada para intensificar a perceção progressiva dos volumes e da ordem compositiva.

Beneath the exterior arcade of the Royal Palace of Madrid lies a monumental corridor of repeating arches, characterized by the alternation of granite pillars and brick-clad vaults. This structural solution, common in 18th-century palace architecture, ensures stability and proper load distribution, while creating a long, rhythmic perspective designed for ceremonies and sheltered passage. The current Royal Palace was built on the site of the former Alcázar, destroyed by a fire in 1734, and became a symbol of Bourbon power and of subsequent urban reorganizations in Madrid. The gallery serves as a transition between the public space and the royal enclosure, moderating light and temperature and facilitating the interpretation of the façade’s classical design. In the background, the presence of life-size figures reinforces the monumentality of the complex and the scenic intent of the route, designed to intensify the progressive perception of the volumes and the compositional order.

O interior da Catedral de Santa María la Real de la Almudena, em Madrid, revela a singularidade de um templo cuja construção se prolongou por mais de um século. Iniciada em 1883 sob projecto do marquês de Cubas, em estilo neogótico, a obra foi interrompida pela Guerra Civil Espanhola e retomada em 1944, com uma reformulação assinada por Fernando Chueca Goitia e Carlos Sidro, que adaptaram a fachada exterior ao neoclássico do vizinho Palácio Real. A nave central, aqui visível, conserva o traçado neogótico original, com abóbadas de cruzaria ogival sustentadas por pilares fasciculados de pedra clara. Destaca-se o teto policromado, pintado com motivos geométricos contemporâneos por Kiko Argüello, fundador do Caminho Neocatecumenal, que também executou os murais da abside com cenas da vida de Cristo e da Virgem. Os vitrais modernos filtram a luz sobre o pavimento xadrez em mármore. Consagrada pelo papa João Paulo II, em 1993, é a única catedral espanhola sagrada por um pontífice.

The interior of the Cathedral of Santa María la Real de la Almudena in Madrid reveals the uniqueness of a church whose construction spanned more than a century. Begun in 1883 based on a design by the Marquis of Cubas in the Neo-Gothic style, construction was interrupted by the Spanish Civil War and resumed in 1944, with a redesign by Fernando Chueca Goitia and Carlos Sidro, who adapted the exterior façade to the Neoclassical style of the neighboring Royal Palace. The central nave, visible here, retains its original Neo-Gothic layout, with ogival ribbed vaults supported by fasciculated pillars of light-colored stone. Of particular note is the polychrome ceiling, painted with contemporary geometric motifs by Kiko Argüello, founder of the Neocatechumenal Way, who also created the murals in the apse depicting scenes from the life of Christ and the Virgin Mary. The modern stained-glass windows filter light onto the checkered marble floor. Consecrated by Pope John Paul II in 1993, it is the only Spanish cathedral consecrated by a pope.
