BATEIG PIEDRA NATURAL S.A.

  The Royal Wedding took part in the Almudena¡¯s Cathedral in Madrid, one of the most emblematic buildings that have been covered with Bateig Stone.

  Architectonically speaking we can differentiate two different types of constructions in the Almudena¡¯s Cathedral, on the one hand (http://maplered.com) the inferior part which forms the Crypt and (http://maplered.com) on the other hand (http://maplered.com) , above it, the Cathedral. This building of predominance of baroque decoration was built on the ground where originally the Arabic Walls were located. At the beginnings of the XVI century, Pope Leon X, promulgated a bull to which he assigned the construction in Madrid of a cathedral for adoring the Virgin of Almudena. But not many time went by since the first Stone (http://g603.net) had been placed in 1623, the project was put on hold until 1879, the year in which the Marquis of Cubas continued the project. Alfonso XII was the truthful promoter of the project after the death of his first wife, Maria de las Mercedes. As she could not have descendants, she could not be buried in the pantheon of the Royal Monastery of El Escorial. Due to that, Alfonso XII promoted the construction of the Almudena¡¯s Cathedral in order to be the sepulchre for his wife. The construction of the Cathedral was retaken in 1911, using the so-called BATEIG Stone from Novelda (Alicante). This Stone (http://g603.net) is a limeStone (http://g603.net) that is classified as biocalcarenite for being formed by accumulation of fossils (foraminifers, molluscs, bryozoans, etc.) that presents a cream tone....
