Religious

Our wide experience ranges from the construction of small chapels or worship centers to the construction of cathedrals, such as the Cathedral of La Almudena in Madrid.

Religious and emblematic architecture with Cabbsa quality seal

In Cabbsa we are experts in this type of constructions, which seek to combine architectural design, symbolism and high quality materials. We bring all our knowledge and experience to create places that reflect the identity and faith of each community. Each project is a balance between the traditional and the modern, with a focus on beauty, harmony and functionality.

We are especially proud to have built the Cathedral of La Almudena, the Chapel of the Francisco de Vitoria University and to have been in charge of the important rehabilitation of San Pietro in Montorio in Rome. The list could continue with a large number of unique and emblematic buildings throughout Spain.

Some religious projects

Cabbsa has been awarded the contract and is currently constructing the new San Josemaría Parish Complex in Aravaca, Madrid. This community-oriented project will house a place of worship and an area for social, cultural, and educational services linked to pastoral activity.   The complex is located in the Moncloa-Aravaca district of Madrid and includes the main building, the surrounding landscaping, and parking areas. The church, which will feature symbolic elements inspired by Gothic architecture, such as pointed arches and ribbed vaults, will combine modern construction methods with traditional materials to achieve a sober, timeless, and efficient architectural style. The complex’s

CHAPEL – FRANCISCO DE VITORIA UNIVERSITY

The elliptical-shaped building measures 26 meters in length and 22 meters in width, with two levels: the upper level serves as a place of worship for up to 500 people, and the lower level is dedicated to faith formation, congresses, and meetings—replicating the chapel’s elliptical design and harnessing natural light. The architecture is distinguished by two large domes supported by seven concrete columns, with the central dome reaching a height of 12 meters.

SANTA MARÍA DE CANÁ CHURCH & FOUNDATION CENTER

The Church of Santa María de Caná, designed by architect Fernando Higueras, stands out for its innovative use of brick, creating architectural forms that enhance internal acoustics and fully exploit the material’s plastic qualities. The cantilevered terraces with protective overhangs produce dynamic plays of light and shadow through vertical or curved recesses, forming pendentives in the entrance portico, the chapels, and the transept. Recently, Cabbsa also built the Caná Foundation Center, a care facility for people with disabilities which, although a project of different scale, follows the same brickwork aesthetic as the church. The project was executed in full compliance

This singular project, originally designed in 1502, required the restoration of historical materials such as granite, travertine marble, stucco, and lime renderings, as well as the complete rehabilitation of stained-glass windows, woodwork, electrical systems, and the lead roofing. A meticulous archaeological monitoring process was carried out during drainage system checks and restoration of mural paintings to ensure full preservation of the monument’s heritage value.

LA ALMUDENA CATHEDRAL

Begun in 1883, this highly complex and emblematic project was entrusted to Cabbsa in 1984 by the Patronage for the Completion of the Cathedral. Cabbsa dedicated all its resources and expertise to overcome the architectural and technical challenges posed by such a monumental structure. It is one of the most significant religious construction projects ever completed in Madrid—and in Spain as a whole—due to its size, singularity, and historical importance.

SAN ISIDRO CHAPEL

In the integral rehabilitation project of the monumental complex of the parish of San Andrés, carried out by Cabbsa, the restoration of the Chapel of San Isidro, recognized since its inauguration in 1669 as one of the main works of Madrid’s baroque style, stands out. The chapel dedicated to San Isidro, patron saint of Madrid, was located in the church of San Andrés, and unfortunately was destroyed by fire in 1936, at the beginning of the Civil War. Cabba carried out a meticulous reconstruction of its interior between 1986 and 1990, with the purpose of accurately replicating the original chapel.
