When the capital of Spain was transferred from Toledo to Madrid in 1561, the seat of the Church in Spain remained in Toledo; so the new capital – unusually for a Catholic country – had no cathedral. Plans were discussed as early as the 16th century to build a cathedral in Madrid dedicated to the Virgin of Almudena, but construction did not begin until 1879. The cathedral seems to have been built on the site of a medieval mosque that was destroyed in 1083 when Alfonso VI reconquered Madrid.

Isidore the Farmer (Isidore the Laborer) was born in Madrid in 1070. He was from a poor family and he became a hired hand for the wealthy Juan de Vergas on an estate near Madrid. His wife, Maria Torribia shared his devotion and is honored as a saint with the name Santa Maria della Cabeza. During his life Isidore worked many miracles; when their son fell in a well, the water level miraculously rose at the prayers of Isidore and Maria so that the boy floated safely to the top. Isidore died May 15, 1130. He was canonized in 1622 and his feast is May 15. St. Isidore is known as the patron of Madrid, Spain as well as Leon, Saragosa, and Seville. He is also considered the patron of farmers, peasants, day laborers, and rural communities. Lastly, he is the patron of the United States National Rural Life Conference.
