The Archdiocese of Valladolid (Latin: Archidioecesis Vallisoletanus) is an ecclesiastical territory or diocese of the Catholic Church in Spain.[1][2] It was erected as the Diocese of Valladolid by Pope Clement VIII on September 25, 1595, and was elevated to the rank of a metropolitan archdiocese by Pope Pius IX on July 4, 1857, with the suffragan sees of Ávila, Ciudad Rodrigo, Salamanca, Segovia, and Zamora.
The Archdiocese's motherchurch and thus seat of its archbishop is the Cathedral of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción; Valladolid also houses the National Sanctuary of the Gran Promesa. Until the appointment of Archbishop Perez, the see had been vacant since April 16, 2009, when Archbishop Braulio Rodríguez Plaza was appointed by Pope Benedict XVI to the position of Archbishop of Toledo (and thus, Primate of Spain) to succeed Cardinal Canizares Llovera, who had been named to head a Vatican Curial Congregation.
