The Virgin of Almudena is a medieval statue of the Virgin Mary regarded as a patroness of Madrid, Spain. The Cathedral of Madrid is dedicated to the Virgin under this title, and her feast day, 9 November, is a major holiday in the city. The original statue has been lost to history; the version now in the cathedral dates to around 1500 and is attributed by art historians to the Netherlandish sculptor Diego Copin de Holanda. Its name derives from the Arabic term Al-Mudayna, meaning the citadel.
