The city is particularly known for its significant Gothic architecture, with the Cathedral of San Antolín being its most prominent landmark. This 14th-century cathedral is often called "La Bella Desconocida" (The Unknown Beauty) and features an exceptional collection of religious art. Palencia has played an important role in Spanish education history, as it was home to Spain's first university, established in 1212, though it was later relocated to Salamanca.
The city maintains a strong cultural identity through its numerous museums, historical buildings, and traditional festivals. The surrounding area is characterized by the Tierra de Campos region, known for its agricultural heritage and Roman villas.
