Jaén Cathedral is one of the great jewels of the Spanish Renaissance. Located in the historic centre of the city, it stands over the old Aljama mosque and the later Gothic cathedral. Dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin, the current cathedral was begun in the 16th century to the design of Andrés de Vandelvira and built over more than two centuries. It stands out for its monumental Baroque façade by Eufrasio López de Rojas, with sculptures by Pedro Roldán, and for its spacious interior with a hall-like nave, imposing columns and exquisite decorations. Inside is the relic of the Holy Face, the veil that, according to tradition, Veronica used to wipe the face of Christ. The Sacristy, Chapter Room, Choir and Main Chapel are spaces of great artistic value, and their history is deeply linked to the faith and identity of the city of Jaén.
