BAEZA
Declared a World Heritage City by UNESCO. One of the most important Renaissance enclaves in Spain.
In the Cathedral neighborhood we find some of the most valuable jewels in the city. It retains Gothic elements, such as the Moon Gate (13th century), and Mudejar, such as the pointed horseshoe arches of the chapels. Attached to the Cathedral are the High Town Hall and opposite, the source of Santa Maria.
The Jabalquinto palace with Elizabethan decoration on its facade, while in its cloister we can admire the transition from the Renaissance to the Baroque. It is worth visiting its Assembly Hall, where Romanesque capitals of the old church of San Juan are preserved.
An essential visit is the Antonio Machado Headquarters of the International University of Andalusia, housed in the former University.
Among numerous manor houses and mansions is the Pópulo square, a set consisting of the Casa del Pópulo (Civil Hearing and Public Notices), the Fountain of the Lions, the old CarnicerÃa, the Puerta de Jaén and the Arco de Villalar. It is one of the most charming corners of Baeza where, next to noble buildings, several portions of the old walls and its door remain.
In the Cándido Elorza square, another large group of historical monuments, Elorza palaces, Cerón and Condes de GarcÃes, and the houses of the Cabrera and Acuña meet, we must add the elegance of the forms of the church of San Pablo, located in its vicinity.

LA IRUELA
It is believed that it was founded in 500 BC. Its castle stands out, visible from the pool and some hotel rooms.
Its most prominent element is the Tower of Homage, surrounded by walls that rest on the rock and that delimit a small enclosure. The second enclosure is formed by remains of several towers and walls, all supported by rocky outcrops.
