The Church of the Sagrario (Spanish: Iglesia del Sagrario) is a building attached to the north facade of the Jaén Cathedral, made due to the unevenness and damage caused by the Lisbon earthquake of 1755. The project for this work was designed by the Madrid architect Ventura Rodríguez in 1764, although it was executed by his nephew . It was inaugurated in 1801 and was consecrated on March 22 of that year. [1]
