Palencia Province, Administrative province in northern Castile and León, Spain

The province spans over 8,052 square kilometers of diverse terrain, from fertile plains to mountain ranges, with the Pisuerga River flowing through its landscapes.

The province contained one of Spain's first universities in the thirteenth century, which later transferred its operations to neighboring Valladolid.

The Cathedral of Palencia exhibits multiple architectural styles, featuring a substantial collection of Gothic and Romanesque elements across its grand structure.

The region maintains 191 municipalities, with most being small villages under 200 residents, while the capital city houses 45 percent of the population.

The Basilica of San Juan, constructed in 661 AD, stands as Spain's earliest existing Visigothic church within the provincial boundaries.
