Sabiote has a long tradition of band music, and despite historical difficulties, it has managed to keep it alive among its residents. The town has a small bandstand where the band offers concerts to its residents on the hot Andalusian evenings in the Plaza de Santa Cruz. The Silverio Campos band is the main band, responsible for delighting the audience.

This church was rebuilt in the 16th century, although construction began in 1500 on the site of a previous church that, like most, was demolished. The Gothic-Isabelline north portal was designed by Alonso Barba, a disciple of Andrés de Vandelvira, architect of Jaén Cathedral. His project was delayed due to a lack of funding and was not completed until the 17th century. This church was declared a National Monument in 1972.

This is a very well-preserved section of Úbeda's ancient wall, which also includes a tower and a small space dedicated to rest. We are in the heart of the city, very close to the Town Hall and where most of the town's monuments are located.

We are standing before one of the most significant buildings in the World Heritage city of Úbeda. This building was designed by the architect Andrés de Vandelvira (who also designed Jaén Cathedral), who began construction in 1562, which was completed in 1575. The building was ordered by D. Diego de los Cobos, Bishop of Jaén, as a hospital for the poor and sick. In 1917, it was declared a National Historic Architectural Monument. It is currently a cultural center that hosts, in addition to exhibitions, the Úbeda Music Festival.
