With the patronage of "John the Baptist," this parish has chosen a saint who is considered a forerunner of Jesus Christ. In Christian theology, he is the voice of one crying in the wilderness prophesied in the Old Testament book of Isaiah: "A voice calls out: 'In the wilderness, prepare the way of the Lord; make straight in the desert a highway for our God!'" (Lutheran Bible). John is the son of Zechariah and Elizabeth, who was visited by the Blessed Virgin Mary when she learned from the Archangel Gabriel that she herself would give birth to Jesus Christ, and her—until then childless—relative was still pregnant in old age. The feast day of San Juan Bautista in the calendar of saints is June 24.

Abelardo Sánchez Park is the largest urban green space in Albacete and one of the city's most iconic landmarks.

The Cathedral of San Juan Bautista in Albacete is an impressive Catholic temple located in the historic center of the city. Its construction began in 1515 on the remains of an old Mudejar church and was completed in 1949. The cathedral combines several architectural styles, including Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque and Neo-Gothic.

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'.

The first laundry in Abengibre, built in 1926, is a historical and architectural treasure. Its attractive design is characterized by a hipped roof and is composed of two rows of twelve slabs each. It was used until the 1960s, when a new, larger, more open laundry room was built. Although rehabilitated in later years, the batteries did not meet the needs of the washerwomen, so it has once again fallen into disuse.

The Church of Saint Michael the Archangel in Abengibre is a historical and architectural treasure. In 1723, Abengibre obtained its independence as a parish with its own priest and delimited territory. Before that, it was part of the Jorquera Parish along with twelve other towns. The dispute over the separation of the parishes ended with the death of the parish priest of Jorquera in 1722. The erection of the new parish was approved in Rome on September 21, 1722 and signed in Murcia on November 8, 1723.
