Getafe Cathedral

The Cathedral of Saint Mary Magdalene Catedral de Santa Maria Magdalena is a Roman Catholic cathedral located in Getafe, Spain. The edifice was a church for most of its existence, before becoming a cathedral in 1995 after the establishment of the Diocese of Getafe. The church, designed by Alonso de Covarrubias and Juan Gómez de Mora, was begun in the 16th century and finished in 1770. The bell tower, dating to a pre-existing edifice from the mid-14th century, is in Mudéjar style, while the rest of it is predominantly Renaissance or Baroque.
