Jaén Cathedral is a magnificent and imposing religious building located in the city of Jaén, Spain. This impressive structure is a prime example of Renaissance architecture and is considered to be one of the most important landmarks in the city. The cathedral was built in the 16th century on the site of a former mosque, and it took almost 200 years to complete.
The exterior of the cathedral is a stunning sight to behold, with its towering spires and intricate carvings. The façade is adorned with sculptures and reliefs that depict scenes from the Bible and the lives of the saints. The main entrance is a grand portal with a large rose window above it, which floods the interior with natural light.
Inside, the cathedral is equally impressive, with a vast nave that stretches over 100 meters in length. The interior is decorated with ornate altarpieces, frescoes, and paintings, including works by famous Spanish artists such as Francisco de Zurbarán and Alonso Cano. The cathedral also houses a magnificent organ, which is considered to be one of the finest in Spain.
One of the most striking features of the cathedral is the Capilla Mayor, or main chapel, which is located at the east end of the nave. This chapel is home to the cathedral's most precious treasure, the Holy Face of Jaén, a relic that is said to be a cloth that was used to wipe the face of Jesus Christ during his crucifixion.
Visitors to Jaén Cathedral can also explore the cloister, which is a peaceful oasis in the heart of the city. The cloister is surrounded by a series of chapels, each of which is dedicated to a different saint or religious figure.
Overall, Jaén Cathedral is a must-see attraction for anyone visiting the city of Jaén. Its stunning architecture, rich history, and religious significance make it a truly unique and unforgettable experience.
