The Neo-Romanesque crypt beneath Madrid’s Almudena Cathedral dates to the 19th century and is lined with more than 400 columns. The marble floor houses hundreds of catacombs, each slab beneath my feet noting the name, birth and death dates of its inhabitant. Silent but for the echo of my boots, the sound of the dead is at once both peaceful and creepy.
