# Translation There have been a total of eight papal visits to Spain, with the first being John Paul II in 1982 and only Francis I having not come. This is how the cross of the Jesus tower looks, the part of the Sagrada Familia that will be blessed by Pope Leo XIV. On June 6th, Pope Leo XIV will land in Spain to make his first official visit to our country as pontiff, which will extend until the 12th of the same month and will be the first official papal visit in fifteen years since the last one took place in 2011 with Benedict XVI.
