Cathedral of San Juan de Albacete, Gothic cathedral in Albacete, Spain.

The cathedral features three naves of equal height, divided by four Renaissance columns measuring 13.6 meters tall with fluted shafts and ornate bases.

Built in 1515 on the site of a 13th-century Mudejar church, the cathedral received its current status in 1949 when the Diocese of Albacete was established.

The interior walls display an extensive collection of oil paintings created by Casimiro Felix Escriba Garcia over a five-year period starting in 1958.

The cathedral stands on a hill in the center of Albacete, with its main neogothic facade accessed by a wide staircase.

The original Gothic vaults collapsed in the 16th century and were replaced with Baroque ones designed by Gregorio Diaz de Palacios around 1690.
