Ubeda and Baeza, World Heritage Site

Let yourself be haunted by two cities full of history, where time stops and the legacy of stone gives it the distinctive "World Heritage." Church, palaces and museums in an urban environment surrounded by the landscape of the Jiennense olive tree define this tourist destination.

The cities of Ubeda and Baeza, declared World Heritage, retain that spell of 500 years ago and make them the greatest exponent of the Spanish Renaissance. Surrounded by olive groves with the Guadalquivir at their feet, these two cities keep the original route of remote times between their streets. Ubeda represents private architecture and civil power, and Baeza represents public architecture and religious power. The two most prominent figures of those times were Francisco de los Cobos, Secretary of Charles I, and his architect Andrés de Vandelvira, author of the most proud monuments of both cities.

The uniqueness of Ubeda and Baeza becomes palpable in its urban and important buildings.

The traveler is immersed in a walk full of history, a place stopped in time, where poetry, the legacy of stone, the flavors of oil and its traditions make these two cities an unrepeatable cultural legacy.
