Iglesia de San Juan Bautista, Gothic church in Marchena, Spain.

The church features five naves of decreasing height, with the central section covered by intricate Mudejar wooden coffering and Gothic vaulted ceilings.

Construction began after the Christian conquest of Marchena, with the central naves, tower, and triple sanctuary completed in 1490 and lateral naves added in 1550.

The interior houses nine paintings by Francisco de Zurbarán from 1637, alongside works by Pedro de Mena and a Gothic main altarpiece by Jorge and Alejo Fernández.

Visitors need to make appointments before visiting the church, which contains an extensive collection of religious art spanning multiple centuries.

The church features two monumental organs: a Baroque instrument from 1675 and a Neoclassical piece from 1802, flanking the ornate wooden choir.
