Don Justo’s Cathedral: The Dedication of A Lifetime
Justo Gallego Martinez, also known by his honorific name Don Justo, was born in the town of Mejorada del Campo in 1925. He was a Spaniard monk who dedicated his life to constructing a cathedral on his own as an act of faith. He was a member of the Trappist order but had to leave before he could take his final vows because of tuberculosis. He promised to build a shrine if he recovered, and after his recovery, he started to build a cathedral. He began laying foundations for a cathedral with his own hands on a plot of land given to him by his parents in Mejorada del Campo without an official permit or permission.
