Jaén Cathedral

Fantastic breathtaking cathedral! Also the VR headset available at the entrance was amazing giving birds eye views of the cathedral! An absolute must!
Also to see it at night recommend making the trip up to the Parador and walking along the path to the edge underneath the white cross...

This is a must see whilst in Jaen- it’s such a stunning cathedral.

This cathedral is in my top three cathedrals of the world which I would have not have expected given the size of Jaen. It’s not only stunning but different from my cathedrals of its era. The architecture of the roof is unusual and stunning in my opinion.

You can visit three levels. In the basement it’s like a museum and the upstairs galleries have lovely views looking down on the inside of the church.

The audio guide was a bit over-detailed for me so I gave up on it and just read the signs which were in Spanish and English.

Visited on a hot Saturday in July and it was virtually empty.

Outside the cathedral is a lovely square with seats to sit in the shade and admire the front of the building.

What to say about the beauty of this Cathedral.
Such a great architecture and very unique style and design.
For me it can be ranked in the top of Europe.
Its so great!!!

We have spent a month touring Spain and done our fair share of Spanish cathedrals. We were a bit reluctant to visit this Cathedral just because we really have overdone cathedrals in the past month. Cathedral overload has been succeeded. However every Spanish cathedral is special and different in its own way and Jaén is no different.

Jaén has some amazing art. The cathedral itself is stunning. Very tall and light.

We were lucky in that the organist was practising when we were there. The organ here is amazing - and I have heard a few. It was such a privilege and very inspiring just to sit and listen to this incredible musician in such an amazing building.

The audio guide is a bit dry - as must cathedral audio guides are.

So even if you are approaching cathedral overload - go and visit Jaén cathedral

Quite an incredible place and absolutely worth a visit.

Nice visit of this Cathedral that you can visit from lower levels to upper galleries! Must be seen

Stunning Cathedral and well worth the 7 euro entry fee which also includes a self guided audio.

Absolutely beautiful cathedral and the best and only redeeming part of coming to Jaen as there’s very little else to see.
I loved browsing all the individual chapels each with their own personality and charm. You can also get a brilliant perspective of the massive scale of the building by climbing up to the top and walking around the perimeter with views of both the interior and an eagle eye view of the gorgeous surrounding countryside.

Exquisite cathedral. If you're in the area, it's worth a visit.

Architecturally and artistically this cathedral is of unusual purity, giving the place a very harmonious feel. The church visibly plays, unlike so many others, also an active role in the life of the community, so it feels alive and not just like a museum of a bygone area of Christian faith. Highly recommended.

Impressive cathedral, €7 entry. Audioguide available. We'll worth the visit.

Stunning. Best time to see without the crowds is as it opens at 4pm, well worth the entry fee of 2 Euros.

I visited the Cathedral this weekend and I absolutely loved it. It is spectacular both from outside and inside. The façade is just beautiful.
When you enter you can scan a QR code which takes you to the audio guide, so that you can understand everything much better. I took my time to look at all the details, all the columns and the ornaments that were typical to baroque style. I was impressed. It is a mix of different styles of architecture, but mostly Renaissance style. Some people might have thought that it is just an ordinary cathedral, the same as all the other cathedrals, but I think that it is really worth visiting, even if you would go to Jaen just to see this one monument.

Amazing architecture, such a huge church. There are good views of the church from upstairs as well.

Nice cathedral, don't try to park nearby.

The Catedral de la Asunción de Jaén is such a nice place to visit when you are in Andalusia! The architecture of the renaissance century is so impressive and really beautiful. There is also a nice plaza in front of the cathedral with some really pretty fountains where you can sit and spend the afternoon with a beautiful view of the cathedral. But it is not only beautiful from the outside, the inside is worth a visit as well! The ceilings are an artwork itself and really impressive. Would really recommend going there and make an impression yourself of this great cathedral!

Please do visit the Cathedral. Very very interesting. Tgey are taken good care of the cathedral. She is a huge building more the 50 meters high..

Here you find a really nice cathedral, impressive especially considering that Jaén is a smaller city and is not that well known. It can be visited daily for an amount of 6 euros. The cathedral is a very good examples of the Renaissance. Its construction dates back to the sixteenth century. On its balustrade nine large sculptures of apostles, saints and evangelists are arranged. It has balconies all around its parimeter. Inside you can find one of the oldest "rostros" of Jesus, which can be visited by the public every friday. A masterpiece by Andrés de Vandelvira.
Definitly worth a visit!

It is very special experience. To enter you have to pay. The price includes an audio guide that makes a 45min tour with interesting explanation of most important places in church( more then 20 places) the price is 5 EUR and the experience you get is just worth it. Audio guide is in English, Spanish, French and Aleman.
Advisable for everyone who is visiting places around Jaen or looking for what to do in Andalucía. Adding few pictures to feel the environment.

A stunning cathedral located in the heart of Andalusia
