Badajoz Cathedral, Gothic cathedral in Badajoz, Spain
The Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist stands in Plaza de España with a 41-meter tower decorated with Gothic and Plateresque elements.
The cathedral's construction started in 1230 after Alfonso IX of León conquered the city, replacing a mosque that previously occupied the location.
The cathedral houses a Baroque altarpiece with 18 Solomonic columns and features an important sculpture of Saint John the Baptist by Juan Alonso Villabrille Ron.
Visitors can take 75-minute guided tours from 10:30 to 13:30 and 17:00 to 19:00 between September and May, with an admission fee of 8 euros.
The cathedral contains three organs, two from Renaissance period and one Baroque, alongside Flemish tapestries from the 16th century in its sacristy.
