Getafe Cathedral, the Cathedral of Saint Mary Magdalene, is credited to Alonso de Covarrubias and Juan Gómez de Mora. The infobox gives 1549 to 1770, and the text says work began in the 16th century and finished in 1770. The article names no client, materials or dimensions.
The bell tower is Mudéjar and dates to a pre-existing mid-14th-century building. The rest is predominantly Renaissance or Baroque, and the infobox also lists Neoclassic, which the text does not mention. The article does not explain how the two architects' work divides across the long building period.
For most of its history it was a church. It became a cathedral in 1995, after the Diocese of Getafe was established, and the infobox gives a dedication date of July 23, 1995. It was designated a Spanish Cultural Heritage monument on May 9, 1958. The current bishop is Ginés García Beltrán. The article gives no hours or access details.
