La almudena, Cátedral de Madrid, February, on explore 9, 2023

            La almudena, Cátedral de Madrid
Origen y leyenda, su título es de origen árabe, y tradicionalmente se había considerado que provenía de la palabra al-mudy, ​ pero arabistas e historiadores especializados​ coinciden hoy en que el nombre procede de la palabra al-mudayna. (= «la ciudadela», que es diminutivo de la palabra al-madina = «la ciudad»), vocablo que haría referencia al antiguo recinto militar amurallado que ocupaba el promontorio donde hoy se asientan la Catedral y el Palacio Real de Madrid.

The almudena, Cathedral of Madrid
Origin and legend, the title is of Arabic origin, and traditionally it had been considered that it came from the word al-mudy, but Arabists and specialized historians agree today that the name comes from the word al-mudayna. (= "the citadel", which is a diminutive of the word al-madina = "the city"), a word that would refer to the old walled military compound that occupied the promontory where today the Cathedral and the Royal Palace of Madrid are located.
