The best family-friendly hikes and walks around La Loma

A tavern you must visit if you are a fan of Joaquín Sabina and his music, as is my case.

This building was home for many years to the family of Francisco Vela de los Cobos (16th century), a councilman of Úbeda and Secretary of State to Charles V, who amassed a great fortune and was one of the most powerful men in the country. Since 1873, it has been owned by the Sabater family, and its current owners, Natalio Sabater and his daughter Cristina, continue to live in the palace and are gradually restoring it through guided tours.

The Church of San Pablo was built in the 13th century on the site of a former mosque. This church is one of the oldest in the city and impresses with its blend of styles: a Romanesque portal, known as the Carpenters' Gate, a Renaissance-style side facade, and a late Gothic interior. The church is located in Plaza Primero de Mayo, also known as Paseo del Mercado (Market Square), as for centuries public markets were held here, as well as political events such as city council elections, religious services, and theatrical performances. Around the square, you can see the old Town Hall, the monument to Saint John of the Cross in the center, and at number 20, the house where Joaquín Sabina was born.

The Sacra Capilla de El Salvador is located at the far end of the Plaza Vázquez de Molina. It is the family mausoleum of Francisco de los Cobos, secretary to Emperor Charles V. Its façade and portal, both in the Plateresque style, are particularly noteworthy.

One of its names comes from the Fountain of the Lions, and the other from the Casa del Pópulo, a Plateresque building that houses the Tourist Office. Also located in this square are the old butcher shop, now a courthouse, the Villalar Arch, and the Jaén Gate.

One of its names comes from the Fountain of the Lions, and the other from the Casa del Pópulo (House of the People), a Plateresque building that houses the Tourist Office. Also located in this square are the old butcher shop, now a courthouse, the Villalar Arch, and the Jaén Gate. The Old Butcher Shops, a civil building constructed in 1547 during the reign of Charles V, had a slaughterhouse on the ground floor and the sales area on the upper floor during the Middle Ages. The Casa del Pópulo, a Plateresque-style building with two floors, has a lower floor with six doors (one for each Public Notary Office) and an upper floor that was occupied by the Royal Court. Finally, the Fountain of the Lions, which arrived from the Iberian-Roman city of Cástulo in the 16th century, features several ornamental elements, among which the Imilce is particularly striking. This female figure is said to have been the Iberian princess of Cástulo and wife of the Carthaginian general Hannibal Barca.

A temple of Visigothic origin, built in the 17th century as a church dedicated to Catholic worship, it is part of the city's Renaissance architectural complex, which was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2003.

Plaza del Pópulo, also known as Plaza de los Leones, is one of Baeza's most iconic and picturesque spots. This square is part of the Renaissance monumental complex that earned the city a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2003.
