Jaen Cathedral Guided Tour
From the Plaza Santa María, in the heart of Jaén, we'll begin a complete tour of the Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin. We'll be waiting for you at its main entrance, one of the most beautiful parts of this Renaissance temple.
Once inside, we'll visit the rooms designed by Andrés de Vandelvira, such as the Sacristy, the Chapterhouse and the Canon's Pantheon. We'll also get to know its Choir, famous for being one of the largest in Spain.
Then we'll have time to go up to the high galleries, where we'll have some magnificent views of Jaen, perfect for taking some beautiful photos.
As we explore its corridors, we'll discover some of the most interesting stories this chathedral has to offer. Is it true that the Veil of Veronica has been seen in Jaen? We'll continue to learn more about the temple before concluding the visit at the entrance the cathedral.
