El Palmar de Troya
 |
El Palmar de Troya is a village dependent on the near town of Utrera in Andalusia in south-western Spain with a population of 2,423. It is particularly known for the cathedral of the Palmarian Catholic Church, a schismatic Catholic sect founded by Clemente Domínguez y Gómez or known as Pope Gregory XVII in Palmarian Catholic faith since August 6, 1978 as a result of alleged apparitions of the Virgin Mary on the site starting in the 1960s. He was later claimed as true Pope of whole Catholic faith instead of the accepted then-elected new Pope Cardinal Karol Józef Wojtyła who was named as Pope John Paul II.
