MADRID, SPAIN - JUNE 06: King Felipe VI of Spain and Pope Leo XIV attend a welcome ceremony at Royal Palace on June 06, 2026 in Madrid, Spain. Pope Leo XIV is making an apostolic journey to Spain from June 6–12, marking the first papal visit to the country since Benedict XVI visited in 2011. During the trip Pope Leo travels to Madrid, Barcelona, and the Canary Islands of Gran Canaria and Tenerife. Many of his planned engagements center on issues around marginalized people, youth, and migrants, alongside meetings with the Spanish royals, government figures, and church officials. A highlight of the itinerary sees Pope Leo inaugurate the recently completed Tower of Jesus Christ spire at the Basílica de la Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the architect Antoni Gaudí's death.
