Built on the history of four centuries, it tells us about time and its art: from the Mudejar to the 20th century. Its four Renaissance columns were the cause to stop the works and are today the reason to visit it. The sacristy is from the 16th century, solid, stony and with details on its walls decorated with magnificent grisaille.

Also known as the Cathedral of Albacete, it is neo-Gothic in style and dates from the 20th century. The construction of the cathedral began in 1940, after the old church of San Juan was demolished to make way for the new structure. It has an impressive neo-Gothic façade with two twin towers each over 50 meters high. The interior of the cathedral is equally impressive, with high ceilings and arches that create a feeling of openness and space.

Saint John the Baptist (San JUAN BAUTISTA), to whom the cathedral (bishop's church) in Albacete is dedicated, is - like Saint Joseph - a man on the threshold of the Old and New Testaments. His parents are Zacharias and Elizabeth, and after the announcement of the incarnation of God through them, the Mother of God visits her relative Elizabeth, who will give birth to a son in her old age, namely John the Baptist.
He is half a year older than Jesus and is considered his forerunner/pioneer. He lives in the desert, preaches repentance from sins to the Jewish population and baptizes them in the Jordan, where Jesus also comes to be baptized, and is filled with the Holy Spirit who descends upon him from heaven.
The memorial day of San JUAN BAUTISTA in the calendar of saints is June 24th, exactly half a year before 'Christmas Eve'.
