Though construction of Jaén Cathedral began in 1249, most of what stands today is from the 16th century. It is the home of important religious relics, such as the Holy Face of the Veil of Veronica. It is said that Saint Veronica used this cloth to wipe the face of Christ, and his image then became imprinted upon it. Pick up an audio guide and admire the adorned interior of the cathedral. On the lower floor, experience an impressive collection of religious art from over the centuries.

Medieval cathedral, amazing place and history

Outside is amazing, also the inside is worth a visit. The price was around 4€ for students to go inside and you get an audio guide in different languages. Would recommend.

Example of the Andalusian Renaissance. The cathedral is home the Holy Veil, which according to tradition was used by Saint Veronica to wash Christ’s face.
