Virgin Of Almudena
The Virgin of Almudena (''Virgen de la Almudena'') is a medieval statue of the Virgin Mary, mother of Jesus Christ. The Virgin Mary is regarded as a patroness of Madrid, Spain, under this title. The Cathedral of Madrid is dedicated to the Virgin under this title, and the feast day, 9 November, is a major holiday in Madrid. There are replicas that are used in processions, as well as more recent versions of the statue at various places. The original statue has been lost to history though. The present one dates to the 16th. Art historians attribute the statue now in the cathedral to the Netherlandish sculptor, Diego Copín de Holanda, who worked in Spain, around 1500. Its name derives from the Arabic term ''Al-Mudayna'' (المدينة), "the citadel." Before the victory parade celebrating their performance in the 21-22 Champions League, Real Madrid presented the Champions League trophy before the statue in the cathedral.

Plans for a cathedral in Madrid dedicated to the Virgin of Almudena were discussed as early as the 16th century but even though Spain built more than 40 cities overseas during that century, plenty of cathedrals and fortresses, the cost of expanding and keeping the Empire came first and the construction of Madrid's cathedral was postponed.
