Comment

Located in the center of the historic center of the city, the Cathedral of Palencia is the result of numerous transformations throughout its more than 1000 years of history. Of Gothic style as a whole, it preserves Visigothic, Romanesque, Renaissance, Baroque and Neoclassical elements. Due to its enormous dimensions, it is one of the largest cathedrals in Spain. Its austere exterior does not announce the splendor of its interior. Hence, it is named as the Unknown Beauty.
