Diocese of Cuenca celebrates installation of David Santos' artwork in Toledo Cathedral
The Diocese of Cuenca celebrated the permanent installation of a painting by David Santos in the Toledo Cathedral on Saturday, October 17, 2026. The artwork, a depiction of San Alonso de Orozco, is located above the door of the La Papelera room next to the Cristobalón. This location is significant because the saint served as a seise in this corner of the temple during his childhood.
Monsignor Luis Marín de San Martín officiated the blessing of the canvas. The ceremony included Archbishop Francisco Cerro, Dean Juan Pedro Sánchez Gamero, Canon Juan Miguel Ferrer, and Domingo Amigo González.
The Hermandad de San Alonso de Orozco de Oropesa, led by Mayor Rubén Zapardiel, collaborated with the donation of the frame. David Santos, known artistically as Santos de Cuenca, is a 25-year-old painter from Cuenca.
