The largest escutcheon in the world: a testament to Pedro de la Gasca

The Church of La Magdalena in Valladolid, Spain, is home to a remarkable sculpted stone escutcheon featured on the exterior of the building. Built in the 12th century, the church was rebuilt in the late 16th century by Pedro de la Gasca, who is buried under the chapel major. The escutcheon is just one of the many ties to de la Gasca.
