ST. JOHN BAPTIST’S CATHEDRAL

The Cathedral of St. John Baptist de Albacete, started in 1515, in a previous Moorish temple, although it was not until 1959 when he gave its present form, with its neo-Romanesque and neo-Gothic style. Inside there are three naves finished: apse, baroque domes and majestic columns, which give way to the chapel of the Llano's Virgin (patron saint of the city) with a Renaissance altarpiece. We also found a beautiful Renaissance custody of Corpus Christi 1583 gold plated silver.

In 1958, the priest of Ayora, Casimiro Escribá, was commissioned to carry out the most is even pictorial work of a single author in the world: a series of oil paintings on cloth backing primed canvas, forming eleven walls and lunettes, with a total area of about 1000 square meters, which were then placed in the walls.

Separated by the Park of the half Jardinillos Walk Fair, the bullring stands. It opened on September 9, 1917. Had nearly 10,000 locations in a time when the city had just over 20,000. Designed by architects Manuel Saiz Julio Carrilero and Vicuña. Historically, it was the fifth held the city, if we as a makeshift first became close to the Place of the Hill, which appears already documented in the sixteenth century. Decade after decade it was increasing the number of celebrations that were held in conjunction with the exhibition: from the 3 or 4 that were held in 1930 to 10 today.

SOURCE FROGS

In 1913 the Company of Water Supply to the City of Albacete proposes to build a monumental fountain in honor of D. Dionisio Guardiola, (attorney and Republican linked to the construction of water supply to the city). In that year the installation of the source is given in the center of the square Canalejas subsequently titled Lodares Gabriel, better known by the public as "La Rotonda", but lately has become more popular the name "The Lamp." The source was placed there in 1935 until it was moved to the park Canalejas, Abelardo Sanchez today. For political disputes was dismantled and hidden in 1950, in the Municipal Slaughterhouse Road Ayora. Later in 1980, he was rescued and rebuilt, but the beautiful hammer forging, the Linear Park. The venue allowed to be viewed from all angles, but over time, grew the trees that adorn the park, leaving the half-hidden source. In 2007, building on the project of building an underground car park, changed location and installed in the rotunda where was situated the statue of "The Sower" by Antonio Navarro Parra, who had to be taken to locate the source . /div>

And on December 23, 2009, in a downpour at noon the metal gets so many years has lacked standing. At eight o'clock, that day, this monument is reinagurado finally full. For amphibians that adorn it is given this name "Fountain of the Frogs", but actually is a monument to D. Dionisio Guardiola, these figures were in the temple of the "Jardinillos" until it was decided to recover and restore the said monument.
