Cathedral of San Juan de Albacete, Gothic cathedral in Albacete, Spain.
The Cathedral of San Juan is a Gothic structure in Albacete with three naves of equal height, divided by four Renaissance columns. These columns reach about 13.6 m and feature fluted shafts with ornately decorated bases.
The church was built in 1515 on the site of a medieval Mudejar church and received its cathedral status in 1949. The establishment of the Diocese of Albacete marked a turning point in the building's importance.
The interior displays an extensive collection of oil paintings created by Casimiro Félix Escribá García between 1958 and 1963. These works shape how the space feels and reflect artistic ambitions of the 20th century.
The cathedral sits on a hill in central Albacete and is accessed by a wide staircase leading to its neogothic facade. Its central location makes it easy to reach and provides views over the city from the top.
The original Gothic vaults collapsed in the 16th century and were replaced around 1690 with Baroque vaults designed by Gregorio Díaz de Palacios. This replacement shows how the structure layers different eras together.
