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.
