Born on September 20, 1925 in Mejorada del Campo, in the suburb of Madrid in Spain, Justo Gallego Martínez is a self-taught builder-architect who became famous thanks to the cathedral he built almost exclusively on his own in 53 years in the Mejorada del Campo, a town on the outskirts of Madrid.

Brought up in a peasant family, He wanted to become a priest, but suffering from tuberculosis did not succeed. After treatment after eight years in a convent, decided to devote his life to building a cathedral on land he inherited from his father. The cathedral covers over 8.000 square meters, It has a length of over 50 meters and a height of almost 30 meters.
