Image of Buenavista de Valdavia, not of the place itself.

The parish church that replaced the old one was unofficially inaugurated on 21 December 1933, to a design by Fernando de Unamuno, son of the writer and architect of several Castilian works. Born in Bilbao in 1892, he qualified at the Madrid School of Architecture in 1918 and, after working in Cádiz, moved in 1920 to Palencia, where he was municipal architect from 1925 until his retirement in 1959; numerous works in the Palencia capital are owed to him, including the opening of the Gran Vía and the renovation of the Teatro Principal.
