Jerez de la Frontera Cathedral, Gothic cathedral in Jerez de la Frontera, Spain

The cathedral features five naves of different heights supported by external buttresses and a central octagonal dome rising 40 meters above ground level.

Construction began in 1695 under architect Diego Moreno Melendez, replacing a previous collegiate church, and the building process extended for more than 80 years.

The cathedral museum displays the painting of Young Virgin Mary by Zurbarán, along with sacred silver objects and ornaments from the 18th and 19th centuries.

The cathedral entrance is accessible through Plaza de la Encarnación, with tickets available for purchase at both the cathedral door and San Miguel Church.

The Gothic-Mudejar bell tower stands separately from the main building, possibly constructed over the minaret of the former city mosque.
