Jaén Cathedral was built to the design of Andrés de Vandelvira, the principal architect at Ubeda and Baeza.

It is considered one of the most significant monuments of the Spanish Renaissance and is said to have influenced the first Renaissance cathedrals in Latin America. The specific features of Jaén Cathedral are the spacious hall-structure ground plan with three naves of equal height and a straight east end.
