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.
