The unfinished cathedral that would have been the tallest in Europe

The Cathedral of Our Lady of the Holy Assumption, better known as Valladolid Cathedral, was designed by Juan de Herrera in a Renaissance-style. The project was left incomplete due to lack of resources after the court moved towards Madrid and the expenses caused by the difficult foundations of the building. Originally intended to be the capital city’s cathedral, construction was initiated in the late 15th century. Only two towers in the corners of the main façade were intended, and one of them was built.

The structure was to be a large church with three aisles, a transept, and two great doors. The building stops where the half of the church was built.
