"Man builds cathedral despite challenges."

Culture

Message from Jaime & Carolina

Justo Gallego Martínez, also known as Don Justo, was a Spanish man who spent nearly 60 years single-handedly constructing a cathedral in Mejorada del Campo. Using recycled materials and sheer determination, he built the Cathedral of Justo without formal plans or permits. Despite facing health challenges and working mostly alone, Don Justo's cathedral grew to include chapels, cloisters, and a library. His unique creation gained international attention and admiration, showcasing his unwavering faith and dedication to his vision.
