Jaén Cathedral, Renaissance cathedral in Jaén, Spain.
The cathedral features a symmetrical exterior with two towers flanking the main entrance, reaching a height of 32 meters and width of 33 meters.
Construction began in 1249 after King Ferdinand III of Castile reclaimed the city, replacing a former mosque with the initial Gothic structure.
The cathedral holds the Santo Rostro, a relic believed to be an impression of Christ's face, displayed during Good Friday and the Feast of Assumption.
Located in Santa María Square, the cathedral stands opposite the Town Hall and Episcopal Palace, making it a central point for visitors exploring Jaén.
The structure contains the tomb of Pope Pius I, making it one of few cathedrals worldwide housing papal remains.
