Eastern Orthodoxy in Spain
Appearance


Spain is not a traditionally Orthodox country, as after the Great Schism of 1054 the Spanish Christians (at that time controlling the northern half of the Iberian Peninsula) was in the sphere of influence of the Church of Rome.
The territory is covered by the Metropolis of Spain and Portugal (Constantinople), Diocese of Madrid and Lisbon (Patriarchal Exarchate in Western Europe (Moscow Patriarchate) or PEWE), Diocese of Western Europe (Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia, Moscow-ROCOR), Diocese of Western and Central Europe (Bulgaria), Spanish Orthodox Church (Serbia), and the Metropolitanate of Western and Southern Europe (Romania).
