List of Catholic dioceses in Spain
The diocesan system of the Catholic church government in Spain consists mainly of a nearly entirely Latin hierarchy of 69 territorial (arch-)dioceses:
- fourteen ecclesiastical provinces, each headed by a metropolitan archbishop (one of which, Toledo, uses the Mozarabic rite), have a total of 55 suffragan dioceses.
Exempt, i.e., directly subject to the Holy See, are:
- the (vacant) Latin Titular Patriarchate of the West Indies
- the Spanish military ordinariate, which is a Latin army bishopric (personal diocese for the military) headed by an archbishop
- the joint Ordinariate for the Faithful of Eastern Rite for all Eastern Catholics in Spain.
All are members of the national episcopal conference of Spain.
There is also an Apostolic Nunciature to Spain (in the national capital Madrid), into which is also vested the nunciature to Andorra.
