Jerez de la Frontera Cathedral is a Catholic church located in Jerez de la Frontera, Andalusia, southern Spain. It is the seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Asidonia-Jerez. It was declared Bien de Interés Cultural in 1931.[citation needed]
Built in the 17th century, it is a mix of Gothic, Baroque and Neoclassical style. It was elevated to the rank of cathedral in 1980.
The cathedral is on a central plan with a nave and four aisles of uneven height. The building is supported externally by normal and flying buttresses and crossing the transept is a dome.
The interior houses a Virgin MarybyFrancisco Zurbarán, and a late 15th-century Gothic Crucifix (named Cristo de la Viga).
