Guided Tour of Jaén Cathedral

Our adventure begins at Plaza Santa María, situated in the city center of Jaén. We'll gather at the grand entrance, considered one of the cathedral's most stunning features, setting the stage for an unforgettable experience.

Upon entering, we will explore the various areas crafted by the renowned architect Andrés de Vandelvira, including the Sacristy, the Chapterhouse, and the Canon’s Pantheon. A highlight of our visit will be the Choir, which is celebrated for being among the largest in all of Spain.

Next, we'll ascend to the upper galleries, where you can marvel at the spectacular vistas of Jaén, providing an excellent opportunity for photography.

As we navigate the hallways, we'll uncover captivating tales embedded within the cathedral's walls. For instance, is there any truth to the legend of the Veil of Veronica being housed in Jaén? Our exploration continues until we conclude at the cathedral's entrance.
