Hello @juancar347. I must say that the Cathedral Church of the Armed Forces is an incredibly stunning piece of architecture. Plus, enhance that with your outstanding photographic perspectives and video presentation, it has intensified that building's interior elements, transforming it into a visual feast. Of all the elaborate details and decorations, the exquisite main altar with its majestic dome above is the apple of my eye. I understand the extreme importance of that landmark as it shelters the bodies of renowned military figures as well as those local soldiers who perished in that tragic plane crash in Turkey. Definitely another spectacular monument of historical significance from your hometown of Madrid, a Spanish architectural icon that we should be proud of! Receive my warmest regards. Have an enjoyable weekend my dear friend! 😊

Indeed, my dear friend @storiesoferne: as you say, a visual feast, which is not always granted, in my opinion, by the old baroque temples. Of course, it is not the only case and there are many other temples with similar characteristics, full of details and tradition, which many people are unaware of, unfortunately, but which are surprising. Today without going any further, on my usual morning walk, I discovered another one, which, like this one, has also impressed me with its beauty. I remember that in the past, I was amazed when great Spanish writers, such as Miguel de Unamuno, claimed that they 'could read' cathedrals, such as the one in León, with a simple visual glance. That was the impression I had upon entering this magnificent temple, which although since 1980, approximately, has been called the Cathedral Church of the Armed Forces, it has always been and will continue to be the famous Church of the Sacrament. Thank you very much for your always benign comments towards my work. I also wish you a wonderful weekend. An affectionate greeting.
