Loan to the exhibition: Reborn The transformed cathedral
The Cathedral of Palencia celebrates its 7th Centenary with the exhibition Reborn , which takes place between the months of June and December. More than an exhibition, it is an experience in which the story is given by the building itself and its seven centuries of history and art. In this way, far from conceiving the Cathedral as a mere artistic container, 'Renaissance' will turn the spaces into one of its main arguments, always related to the artistic pieces gathered.

The Cathedral of Palencia celebrate his VII Centenary with the sample Reborn , which takes place between the months of June and December. More than an exhibition, it is an experience in which the story is given by the building itself and its seven centuries of history and art. In this way, far from conceiving the Cathedral as a mere artistic container, 'Renaissance' will turn the spaces into one of its main arguments, always related to the artistic pieces gathered.
The most well-known places in the building will share prominence with others that cannot normally be visited and in them you will be able to see both cathedral masterpieces and others not usually exhibited or unknown so far as well as some that at the time belonged to the Palentina headquarters and are now returning from the different places they went to, as is the case of Saint John the Baptist of Alejo de Vahía that the Frederic Marès Museum has ceded on loan. There is a hypothesis that the sculpture could come from a sample commission for the altarpiece that the Cathedral of Palencia itself made for Alejo de Vahía. Therefore, until December 11, you can see Saint John the Baptist together with the Maria Magdalena of Alejo de Vahía who usually forms part of a compartment of the altarpiece of the Cathedral. Both sculptures are exhibited together for the first time after being separated.
'Rebirth' is part of the events commemorating the seven centuries that have passed since the beginning of the construction of the Gothic Cathedral, promoted by the Fundació 7è Centenari Catedral de Palència 2021, made up of the Diocese of Palència, the Junta de Castilla y León, the Provincial Council and the City Council of Palència, with the collaboration of the Chamber of Commerce and the CEOE.
