San Pedro Cultural is a unique monument that was inaugurated on March 19, 2015. It was built from the ruins of the Church of San Pedro in the town of Becerril de Campos. This town was declared the most beautiful village in Spain by internet users in 2016. This makes it a significant location for tourists who are interested in history, architecture, and natural beauty.
The Church of San Pedro in Becerril de Campos, which was built in the 12th century, began to decline in the mid-20th century. However, reconstruction works began in 2013, led by three architects from Palencia: Juan del Olmo, Carlos del Olmo, and Álvaro Gutiérrez. Their goal was to restore the building in a unique way, setting it apart from other historical sites.
San Pedro Cultural boasts several unique features that make it a fascinating destination for tourists. These include a continuous movement Foucault pendulum, which is driven by an electromagnet, several sundials, and various points of light entry that demonstrate the rotation of the Earth. Visitors can also see the remains of several funerary slabs and a recreation of the firmament made in the vault, which was almost completely collapsed.
