Breve descripción

Villanueva de la Reina is located in a privileged area to the north-west of the province and belongs to the region of la Campiña.

Its municipal term forms an elongated strip occupying the medium region of Guadalquivir and has a flat and unhighlighted orography. La ribera del Guadalquivir, as it crosses the municipality, is conducive to the existence of orchards and irrigation olive groves.

The northern part of the term is occupied by the Mediterranean forest landscape of Sierra Morena, which in turn forms part of the Natural Park of the Sierra de Andújar.

The economic activity of the municipality is basically based on agriculture, mainly olive, promoted by the excellent fertile land of the Vega. The cultivation of the asparagus and in general the fruit and fruit crops are important. In recent years this activity tends to diversify, looking like the handling industry, mainly asparagus for export and under-coat cultivation.

Its municipal term includes the pedanities of: La Countess, La Crujía, La Quintería and Rincón de San Ildefonso.

Among its historical-artistic heritage is the Church of Our Lady of Nativity, the City Hall, the Chapel of the Cortijo of San Nicolás and the Press of the Tower, a press of oil mill from the 18th century.

Historia

Vestiges located on the terraces of Guadalquivir confirm its paleolithic origins; the settlement of The Crujia is one of the archaeological sites already of the Neolithic. The human presence during the Iberian era is evident in other settlements and in the discovery of abundant ceramics.

These lands were very moved by being located on the way from Cástulo to Iliturgi, from the Via Augusta. In the Vasos of Vicarello, the route from Cadiz to Rome by Cattulo appears, and a stop is mentioned. Ad Noulas or Nobia, identified with the Vega Baja site, close to the current city centre. It was the old one. Ipra where findings reveal systems of Roman parcelation, in places such as the Garden of Enmedio, Arroyo del Tesoro, the Crafts or in the surroundings of the pedanea The Quinteria. The most emblematic is the villa of Santa Potencio.

In Muslim times it was a small alquería, given to Andújar after his conquest by Alfonso X. In the 15th century, it was the scene of the battle of San Bernabé, in which when the Andújar of his battle against Don Juan de la Cueva in Baeza, led by the Constable Iranzo, returned, were surprised by Don Fabrique and those of Córdoba with 500 horses and 800 children.

In 1628 Bishop Moscoso and Sandoval began a process on the miracles of Santa Potenica, weaver whose martyrdom consisted of pairing; ten years later he was beatified by Urban VIII.

During the French invasion, General Castaños organized here the column that he defeated at the Battle of Bailén. On July 22, 1808, the French capitulation was signed at the Casa de Postas de Villanueva de la Reina.

The old one Villanueva de Andújar was segregated from this city in 1790 and took the name of Villanueva del Río, until later, for aid received from Queen Elizabeth II, he changed his name to the current one.

- Parish of the Assumption.It's the most important monument of Villacarillo, is a proud building built between the 16th and 17th centuries, in which the last forms of the Gothic and the first manifestations of the Renaissance coexist. It is one of the great works of Andrés de Vandelvira, who set up his first home here, married the neighbor of this city, Luisa de Luna, and had seven children. The construction works begin in the year 1540, setting up the Vandelvirian project on the primitive medieval castle of Mingo Priego, part of which is integrated into the upper dependencies of the temple, now converted into a museum.

The Church of the Assumption is extraordinary for the uniqueness of its volumetric profile, the inner spatial grandiosity, the originality and beauty of its vaults, and the integration of medieval traditions into Renaissance classicism. It is one of the most significant churches of the Renaissance in the diocese of Jaén. National Monument since 1931. The interior is of basic and three ships with the same height separated by high and slender pillars that complete the feeling of a monumental set. Even with Gothic resabies, visible on the pillars and side ships, it shows what will be the idea of a Christian temple that Vandelvira has, dominated by vaults of a vanish type. On the side walls, hornadine chapels are opened, which are covered with nerve vaults.

The Central cover It is formed by a beautiful succession of half orange domes with lanterns on decorated breasts. We can imagine Vandelvira and his assistants during the first years of the construction of this church, large wooden scaffolding, the noise of the quarries, piles of stone to be turned into armchairs and the caleros selling lime for the argamase. Without a doubt, the most curious image should be the perplexity of the elderly, seeing such thin pillars on the sides of a great central ship, nothing to do with the churches of the area, or the recite Sanctuary of the Virgin of Fuensanta, in the nearby Villanueva of the Archbishop. Very important will be all the pictorial decoration of vaults, The work of Peter of Raxis, mainly dated from 1575, representing scenes of the Old Testament and the Passion of Christ.

It has a rectangular floor, with a cover divided into three sections with vaulted vaults.

The Puerta de Sol and Door of the Umbria are the main accesses to the temple. The tower designed by Vandelvira is quadrangular, topped by a body of bells, crowned by a regular octagon and petreous cone and located on the right side of the main door, Puerta del Sol, its height is 56 meters. The climb of stairs is helical. In Parish Museum of La Asunción the collection of baroque goldsmiths of the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, as well as misals, bibles, casullas, etc.

It is located on Ramón and Cajal Street, popularly known as "Cuesta de las Monjas." Old Franciscan convent, built in 1645 and made by the architect Juan de Aranda Salazar. The interior of a single ship with a barrel vault, with high chorus to the feet and remarkable frescoes that are attributed to the village of Escudero de la Torre. The baroque-style golden altarpiece has salomonic columns that are decorated with grapes, sardines and glass leaves. The facade is made of stone with irregular armchairs and a simple three-body swordsman.

The cover, elegant and classic, with a garden in which you will find the stone image of Santa Isabel of Hungary. In 1812, a solemn act of swearing of the Constitution of Cadiz, popularly known as "The Pepa". The building attached to the church was a closing convent until 1737, a public prison during the French occupation and, from 1884, a hospital to which the services of the former San Lorenzo Hospital were transferred. Between 2012 and 2013, a number of work has been done to recover the damaged church areas. Today it houses several municipal units.

- Municipal Public Library. It is a 19th century building considered of high value, with two floors of height and marked modernist and eclectic character in its architectural concept. Inside, the staircase and the entrance fireplace stand out. Also, the decoration of the ancestors of the low windows and balconies is remarkable.

- The House of Inquisition. Located in the old town, on Repullete Street, it is a historic three-storey building built between the 16th and 17th centuries.

- Vandelvira's house and bust. On the side of the church and on Vandelvira Street there is a house, at number seven, which is held by the house of the master in Villacarillo and a bust tribute to Vandelvira.

- Anti-aircraft shelters. They were built in the middle of the Civil War in 1937 to protect the population in the event of air bombardment. They never got used. They have subsequently served as a food store. In 2018 they were rehabilitated to be included in the city's heritage. The shelters and the Parish are within the program "Hidden Treasures" de la Loma and Las Villas.

- Archaeological settlements. Villacarillo is prodigy in archaeological discoveries that shed light on the successive peoples and civilizations who chose their territory to settle. Many of them are concentrated in the Turruñuelos fieldwhere the human presence has been documented, and almost uninterruptedly, from the Copper Age to the Roman era. The Castellones de Mogón, place located on the right bank of Guadalquivir, have documented the existence of a village appeared in the 6th century BC, From this place comes a relief known as the Domador de Caballos.

Naturaleza

Villacarillo with an extensive municipal term, has two well-defined orographic areas:

- The countryside, which extends through the eastern end of the region of La Loma, occupying most of the municipal term. The orography of this area is of lomas with soft slopes and almost entirely covered by olive trees. It is the fauna of the olive tree that corresponds to the small-game cynetic species: hare, rabbits, partridges, clumsy pigeons, badgers... Without forgetting the olive fauna, both the birds that the shelter has here and those who feed on it on their migration trips. To point out the importance of insecticide birds to prevent the spread of pests in the olive tree, an ecological insecticide.

- The area of the Sierra de las four Villas, which is part of the Natural Park of the Sierras de Cazorla, Segura and Las Villas. One of the features that draws the attention of the landscape of this area, is the water abundance and lush vegetation. Four rivers go through its term: The Guadalimar, which is a natural limit to the region of El Condado; the Guadalquivirwhich serves as the border between La Campña and the Sierra and the rivers Huascebas Grande and Chico hives, whose waters will go to Guadalquivir. These waters make up an agribusiness relief, with large cliff slopes, enclosed valleys, canyons, flashlights... The water dissolves the limestone and while modeling the landscape will result in karmic formations such as caves, wells, bowling...

The vegetation In this area it is colonized by large-scale larix and black pines, strawberries, maples, boj, madroños, tejos, some of them millennia. It's an ideal place for it to develop cynetic species of major game like: the boar, deer, gamo... and it is very easy to see the royal eagle, the perdicular eagle or the black vulture or the leonated vulture lying in the rocks or flying over the skies of the area.

Walking the trails of the area is to have the opportunity to enjoy really wonderful panoramic, as you can see the Guadalquivir Valley, the Yelmo, the villages of La Loma or even Sierra Nevada.

Mirador: Road A-316 in its Torreperogil- Villacarillo-Villanueva del Archbishop section. It is just an example of the great olive groves that can be seen when travelling through the province of Jaén. In particular this stretch of road runs almost air in the interflude of the valleys of the Guadalimar and the Guadalquivir. From this area you can see thousands of hectares of olive trees in a single look, framed by the horizons of Sierra Morena on one side, and Sierra de Segura and Sierra de Las Villas on the other.

There are many places where we can enjoy an exuberant nature at the end of Villacarillo, but we will quote three of them: The Path of the Odera, the Cascade of Chorrogil and the reservoir of Aguascebas.

In Mogón, the StrawberryIt's a beautiful natural place surrounded by trees. There is the Astronomical Outreach Centre of La Fresnedilla, which aims to introduce the visitor into the various techniques and means of astronomical observation.

Historia

Although we have no archaeological research that can specify the antiquity of human occupation in the locality, the quality and quantity of the remains found in its surroundings allow us to go back to the Neolithic. Among these, we quote numerous legal instruments, such as neolithic axes, funeral tombstones of different historical times, the Treasure of Mogon, currently in the National Archaeological Museum, the Mercury God, in golden bronze, the Winged Sphinx of Phoenician origin or the Roman mosaic of Teatino. The Iberian and Roman settlements were very important.

Villacarillo originated in the Muslim era as a fortress defending Iznatoraf. After the conquest of this by Fernando III the Holy one in 1226, his evolution began. At first he was known as the village of Mingo Priego, which the king donated to the advance of Cazorla.

The growth and importance of the population were increasing until the archbishop of Toledo, Alfonso Carrillo, gave him the category of independent villa in 1449, giving him his name and shield. Category that was later confirmed by King John II of Castile and later, in 1498, by the Catholic Kings.

The richness of its cerealistic field will allow for a rapid growth maintained over the following centuries, the population has been consolidating and increasing, leading to the formation of the urban town of regular layout and large solariegal houses. In the 19th and 20th centuries it enjoyed an important boom that is reflected in the modernist buildings that splash their streets. By Royal Decree of 8 March 1877, Alfonso XII grants the City title.

Valdepeñas de Jaén, founded by Carlos I, shares with Mancha Real and Los Villares, being one of the paradigms of the Renaissance urbanism, inspired by the theories of the trattadist Vitrubio.

Its urban morphology had to adapt a reticular route to the irregular orography of the hill on which this municipality is based. The city centre was located in the most flat part with a large trapezoidal square where the most emblematic buildings are located.

  • Parish Church of James the Apostle (s. XVI-XVII). Located on one of the corners of the square, it stands out both by height and volumetric, following the rules of Vitrubio that the most representative building must dominate the urban whole. Its cover, located not at the foot of the temple, but laterally to the square, opens with a simple half-point arch on which goes a second body with veneer intended to host the image of the saint holder. Built in the 16th century, in a Renaissance style, it is evident in the classicism and simplicity of its cover, in the proportionality of the tower and in the clarity and internal spatial amplitude.
  • Sanctuary and Hermitage of the Christ of Chircales. The origin of this sanctuary goes back to the Middle Ages. Located in the Chircal area about 20 km. of the city centre. On the first Sunday of May there is a pilgrimage to this sanctuary.
  • Mill Museum Alto de Santa Ana. It is a hydraulic flour mill of medieval origin. Restored in 2001, and in operation, it houses an ethnographic museum, of popular traditions and customs.
  • Santa Ana Bridge. Of possible medieval origin, also called the Dehesa or the Hundidero. Built in stone toba armchairs of the town, it has a single arch, under which they cross the waters of the river Ranera, tributary of the Víboras.

Other monuments of interest are: the episcopal residence, reformed in the 17th century under the inspection of Eufrassio López de Rojas and converted into episcopal headquarters when the Augustino bishop Fray Diego Melo of Portugal took refuge until his death in Valdepeñas; the Hermitage of Our Lady of the Angustias of the Parrizoso (on the banks of the Quebrajano reservoir) and the Hermitage of San SebastiánIn the old Egido, it has an attached cemetery.

An environment full of walnuts, pastures, chaps and centenary complaints. His great saws, the Pandera and Sierra Vestinkers, mountains that are covered in snow during the winter.

Among the trees, the Coal Complaints, a millennial tree that has been declared a natural monument.

In this landscape of high mountains and abrupt areas lives a great diversity of wild animals who freely camp through the saws. An ideal place for the cynegetic species, especially for major hunting: deer, wowls, boars, muflons... among others.

A place where water is a true treasure of these lands that offer us countless fountains, waterfalls, reservoirs, rivers and streams which are contonated by these saws giving rise to places of a unique beauty such as: Paraje de las Chorras, Pitillos, declared Natural Monument and which conserves a forest of unique tiles in the region and of the few existing in Andalusia, Navalayegua's lookout, Salto del Hoyo, Chircales, el Castellón, el Vadillo or el Charco de Utrera, a large waterfall of 25 m, or the swamp of the Quebrajano and its imposing cannons.

The gastronomy in the town is very linked to the livestock. The local receptarium gives hands to the surrounding mountains to incorporate into the table Triguero asparagus and cardo mushrooms and also aromatic herbs used as additives in many of the dishes.

Historia

The oldest remains documented in the term Valdepeñas go back to the Bronze ageand are located in the area called "Castellón."

During Roman times a proliferation of small houses linked to the peasantry, as the remains in the Ventilla, Navalenga, El Torcal, La Solana, Pitillos and others testify.

In the Islamic period the castle of Susana, mentioned in the Arab and Christian chronicles, is raised with a rather busy existence, being conquered on several occasions by both sides.

What today is Valdepeñas de Jaén was founded on 1539 by the Emperor Carlos V, as a new population, within the project of colonization and repopulation of the saws of Jaén.

In the new towns is implanted a urbanism called colonial, in the form of a damer, in which the streets in reticle will give to the main square, the place in which are the most representative buildings: church, town hall, posite... A kind of urbanism that has been maintained to this day.

By 1550, the population was fully constituted, but as a place under the jurisdiction of Jaén. It will be in 1579 and thanks to the donation of 1,370,000 Maravedis who contributed their 170 neighbors, King Philip II gives Valdepeñas the title of the village, disconnecting from the city of Jaén.

Valdepeñas took an active part in the War of Independence, possibly encouraged by the Bishop of Jaén, who resided in the palace that the bishopric had in the city.

In 1917 obtained the title City, granted by S.M. King D. Alfonso XIII.

Ubeda has a beautiful monumental and cultural heritage that makes it a fundamental destination for those interested in the Renaissance architecture.

From its heritage we will highlight the excellent degree of conservation of many of its buildings, which still keep details of the time as can be the doors of claveted wood, the iron aldabas, the lanterns and the bars.

It covers such a number of monuments, churches, palaces and master houses, that it would be difficult for us to list them here to the full. Among its most notable monuments of Ubeda are the following:

Historical center:

In addition to these interesting attractions, we suggest a visit to the walls to contemplate the extraordinary panorama obtained from them.

Naturaleza

It is the main center of the region called La Loma. Ubeda is located on a hill at 750 m of altitude, and is surrounded by the valleys of the Guadalquivir and the Guadalimar.

Very close, around it, are the Natural Parks of Despeñacolos, Sierra Magina and Sierras de Cazorla, Segura and Las Villas.

The landscape is very characteristic because it is composed of a "sea of olive trees," as the poet Antonio Machado wrote.

Fiestas y Eventos

The city of Ubeda presents a mosaic of cultural activities, festivals, fairs, romanias... Events all very deeply rooted in the population and with a very consolidated organization, which makes visitors from all parts of Spain participate.

It is worth the celebration of the Holy Week, one of the most popular parties in Andalusia, being declared a National Tourist Interest Party.

On May 1, the Romeria de la Virgen de Guadalupe, patron of Ubeda and known as the "Great Romery." That day the Virgin moved from her sanctuary to the village of Santa Eulalia.

Typical are also the San Antón fires"the lumbres." On January 16, fires are made in the different neighborhoods, where sardines are roasted or the cobbled.

Special emphasis party of San Isidro Labradoron 15 May, farmers' employers and who enjoy much devotion among the olive workers.

Together with the neighbouring city of Baeza, the Festival of Ancient Music. And in the last months of the year, the puppet and tale festivals take place.

And we cannot stop quoting the San Miguel Fairon September 29, the city's patron party. And during the days of this fair the Autumn Theatre Show takes place, as well as high-quality musical activities and children's activities for all ages.

Other relevant events highlight theFlamenco and Mestizo Festival "City of Ubeda" or Exhibition of Autumn Theatre of Ubeda.

+ INFO

Gastronomía

The ubetense cuisine is basically Mediterranean, with influences both manchegas, alumina and Andalusian root.

The table includes legumes, game meat and products derived from the "slaughter of the pig," and, of course, virgin olive oil and table olives. Among the most outstanding dishes would be:

  • The crumbs (reminiscent of the shepherds in transhumanism).
  • The ointment, an olive oil cake.
  • The slick.
  • Potage of beans with eggplants.

The bars and canteens are the traditional meeting point of the ubetens. If you visit the city in September you can attend the Fiesta de la Tapa.

We cannot forget the "Gourmet days of the Renaissance". They take place from January to March in the most emblematic restaurants, where both lunch time and dinner are accompanied by shows.

Historia

The latest archaeological research shows that the first settlements of Ubeda date back to the Copper and Bronze Age (III and II millennium A.C), being the "oldest city in Europe" scientifically documented.

In search of product exchanges the Greeks will arrive and later the Carthaginians, who would be defeated by the Romans. It is under the Roman Empire, from the battle of Llipa in 206 BC, when the old city is romanized and will be known as the Betula.

The city takes on importance with the arrival of the Arabs, in particular with Abdeleran II, in the S. IX, who overlooks it with the name of Ubbada or Ubbadat Al-Arab (Ubeda "of the Arabs"). As a Muslim city it was surrounded by walls and became one of the most important cities of Al- Andalus, due mainly to its crafts and trade.

In the S. XI it will be conquered by the alparavids. And the definitive Christian conquest was carried out in 1234 by King Fernando III.

A number of factors, such as the geographical location, its extensive and rich jurisdiction, as well as the presence of an increasingly powerful nobility, would lay the foundation for the splendor that Ubeda reached in the 16th century.

The economic development of the city based on agriculture and on the feral livestock, the rotations of the forests that represented an increase in the land of cultivation, and having a mesta of its own, will base the greatest splendor of the city, which was a demographic increase to reach 18,000 inhabitants.

In addition to the ubetense nobility and the Orders of Cavalry, we found a group of neighbors who have prospered (doctors, tailor, scribes, bots...) that will lead to an incipient bourgeoisie.

To highlight the role of Francisco de los Cobos, secretary of Charles I, who, with his interest in art and under the advice of the architect Andrés de Vandelvira, fills the city with palaces. In Ubeda, take root the humanist currents of the Renaissance. It will be Juan Vázquez de Molina, Secretary of Charles I and Philip II, who will continue with the planning initiated by his predecessor.

Declive:
The 17th and 18th centuries are of decline for the city, as Spain is in a general crisis. The bad crops, the unfair pressure of taxation to cover the cost of wars, corruption, the power of the clergy, the expulsion of the Moorish, will be factors that contribute to the loss of that splendor that characterized this city.

Later, in 1820 and 1836, ecclesiastical disamortizations, Carlist wars, Civil War and post-war will come.

Recovery:
It will be in the 1960s and 70s of the last century, thanks to the development pull, when slowly it was the "Florence of Alta Andalucía" go to the present place and become a provincial reference point, head of the region of La Loma and a centre of industry and services of increasing importance.

Otra información

Known people born in Ubeda:

  • Antonio Muñoz Molina, writer and member of the Royal Academy of Language.
  • Joaquín Sabina, singer.

In Ubeda dies San Juan de la Cruzon 14 December 1591.

The popular saying of leaving or "walking on the hills of Ubeda," has its origin in the conquest of the Almohades of the Jienese city of Ubeda in 1234. It seems that one of the most important captains of King Fernando III "the Holy," disappeared moments before entering into combat, and that he appeared after the city was conquered. Asked where he had been, he replied that he had been lost by the hills of Ubeda.

These reasons are further enriched by the fact that San Juan de la Cruz died here, having been brought to the city to recover from a slight fever, and by the fact that it is the birthplace of Antonio Muñoz Molina, winner of the Premio Planeta and the Princess of Asturias Award for Literature.

Because of its location in the border area between Muslims and Castilians, it had a very uncertain activity during the Middle Ages, was taken by some and recovered by others on several occasions. In 1231 was conquered by Fernando III integrated inside the Alfoz de Baezawhere she remained until she was donated to the Order of Calatrava, which began important works of protection, building a new alcazar and building a defensive wall around the population. Of both, virtually nothing is preserved except for the remains in the Wall Clock.

During 15th centuryTorres was a battlefield between the masters of this Order and the supporters of Henry IV. As the conquest progressed, Torres moved away from the border and the population was increasing. It is believed that these new inhabitants came from Cuenca, Valencia and the Catalan area. For them, life under the mandate of the co-ordinators was not easy, until 1486 the Capitulation of Arjonilla,which limited mutual rights and obligations.

In the 16th century, given the economic needs of Charles I, he sold the territories of the Order, Torres among them, to his secretary Francisco de los Cobos. Here he ordered to build his house palace and the bridge that today is known as The Bridge.

The declaration of Historical set It is justified in 2005 by the presence of several monumental buildings in the old town, as well as by the medieval route.

We highlight the following monuments:

Civil architecture:

  • Castle (12th and 13th centuries). The castle of Torredonjimeno was built by the Arabs to protect the population from a small rural house. It was a rectangular fortress, of medium size, which after the reconquest was widely reformed by the Order of Calatrava. The Fortaleza, of a mannerist style, is one of the most important monuments of the historical and archaeological heritage of Torredonjimeno. As a matter of curiosity, the castle served as an accommodation for Fernando III in one of his perils and, according to tradition, in the room of which he was Torre del Tribute, the commando of the Order of Calatrava wrote the first book of which the art of the bullfighting is recorded. From this book, printed in the 16th century, only one preserved copy is known in the Salamanca Library. At the end of the Middle Ages the castle became a church residence. Inside the compound we can see part of that 16th century palace house in which several of its dependencies are highlighted with polychrome potters of Mudejar style. After its restoration, the castle has become a cultural center in which much of the activity of Torredonjimeno is developed and which also houses the Visigode Treasury Interpretation Centre which was found in the surroundings of the municipality fortuitous in the early 20th century. Considered the second most important visible legacy of the Peninsula after the one found in Guarrazar (Toledo), its original pieces are today distributed by several Spanish museums. Declared Good of Cultural Interest with the type of Monument in 1985 (BOE 29 / 06 / 1985).
  • San Sebastián Bridge. On one side of the missing Gate of Martos and on the other side with the pillar of the same name and it rises on the way of the Salado River.
  • City Council (17th century, mannerist). Of elegant and proportionate facets, typical of the classicism of the 17th century. The facha is divided into two floors, the one below has in the center a cover and on the double sides of the intellized windows. The superior presents a gallery with 11 arches of half points supported on double columns. The open character of the gallery contrasts with the solid and sober underfloor in the style of the Italian palaces. Declared B.I.C. in 1983.
  • Cube mill. It is a fortified flour mill that takes the name of the stream of the cube, is built by the Order of Calatrava in 1437. It is the largest and best preserved fortified mill built by the South Peninsular Military Orders. In this place, down to the river of the Cube, we find an area of high ecological and landscape value.
  • Torres- Fortress. In the municipal term of Torredonjimeno there are numerous towers such as: Castle of the Fucovert, Castle of Torre Venzala and Castle of Torre Alcázar.

Religious architecture:

  • Church of Santa Maria.Built in the early 16th century, in late Gothic style. It is a temple dedicated to the Mystery of the Immaculate Conception of Mary, of one ship, with two chapels on each side, flat tester and tower at the feet. The ship is divided into three sections, with star gothic vaults separated by pointed arches. The main facade, at the foot of the temple, stands out on the volume of the whole by the body of the torre-bell tower attached to the wall, has a small furnace flanked by two shields of the Order of Calatrava.

    The first extension of the temple is in 1671, consisting of a chapel next to the presbytery for the Most Holy. The second enlargement, in the first third of the 18th century, is dedicated to Our Lady of the Dolores. It is worth noting the Camarín, which is accessed from the sacristy. Declared B.I.C. with the type of Monument in 2010 (BOJA 9 / 11 / 2010. p. 50).

  • Church of St. Peter the Apostle (S. XVI), Renaissance style, designed by Francisco del Castillo "El Mozo" and built in 1592. It is divided into three ships by sober columns of Tuscan order that support a Mudejar artisan: that of the right dedicated to the Virgin of the Angustias, that of the left is occupied by the Christ of Love and at the bottom the Chapel of the Virgin of Carmen. On the presbyterium is the fourth-sphere vault, on pechines, covered with frescoes of the Celestial Glory. The altarpiece, from the first third of the 17th century, originates from a convent of Valladolid. It also highlights the large number of pictorial works of Easter.
  • Convent of Our Lady of the Piety (16th century), popularly known as "Las Dominicas." Founded by Don Jerónimo de Padilla and Pacheco around the year 1540, belonging to the Order of Santiago and with a triple function: to house a convent of Dominican nuns, to be a family pantheon for the founders and to serve as a school for homemade maidens. The church presents one ship divided into three sections, with side chapels embedded in the wall. It has double choruson the feet and on the side of the presbytery. The altarpiece is baroque from 1728. The ship is divided into three sections with star Gothic vaults and separated by half-point arches, columns and capitals. The profusion of santiaguine shells and the general composition of late and Renaissance Gothic elements are a decorative element. In the interior of the convent you can highlight the double floor cloister, you cannot visit it as a closing convent.

The municipal term of Torredonjimeno has a surface area of 157, 68 km ²and is at an average altitude of 587 m. over sea level.

The municipal term is characterized by the abundance of hills and a shortage of very flat areas. The altitude of the term varies between 300 m from the lowest areas to the west to 800 m in the south-east, being a transition area between the Sierra Sur and the Campiña.

Although there are no notable geographical accidents, there are many natural spaces and attractions who will make the delights of lovers of nature. It is these places that make nature in this municipality a real sign of identity.

The indigenous vegetation corresponding to the term is made up of oats, a small forest with different species such as lentils, retama, zarzas, rosemary, madroño and thorn.

The fauna the species that have been able to adapt to these lands without almost forest area: sedentary birds, jellyfish, greens, partridges. Migratory birds coming from the African continent, such as the tortola, the cuckoo, the swallow and the victor, who come to these lands to feed and reproduce. They also abound in the Tusrian rabbit field, hares and all kinds of rodent animals.

We highlight the following areas:

  • Las Quebradas Park. Frondosa grove in the old town of Torredonjimeno where there is an area conditioned for leisure and free time consisting of a children's park and a picnic area.
  • Calvary. It's one of the local lungs. Located to the south-east of the city centre, it is a hill where there is pine mixed with oak and Mediterranean bushes. Through a wide and soft sidewalk, along which there are several stone crosses, you reach the top where you find the San Cristobal hermitage. On this path, at the evening of Holy Monday, the crucified Christ is processed. From here we'll have some Exceptional panoramic views of the helmet of Torredonjimeno.
  • The site of the Cube Mill. It is located 3 km away. from the town and near the Green Way of Oil. It is an area with a high ecological and landscape value. There is the Cube Mill, a fortified flour mill of the 15th century. Here we can observe various water jumps and the riverside vegetation.

  • Laguna de la Casilla and Laguna de las Navas. They are seasonal lagoons located in the western part of the municipality. Since 2007 they have been registered in the inventory of wetlands in Andalusia. These two lagoons are ideal for the observation of aquatic and amphibian birds at some times of the year.
  • Green Way of Oil.It is presented as a new and attractive offer of indoor tourism based on the use and recovery of the old Jaén- Campo Real railway (Córdoba) as green corridor, ideal for the practice of cycling, hiking and other sports in contact with nature. Built between 1882 and 1893, this railway belongs to the line Linar- Puente Genil, and was dedicated for much of the 20th century to the transport of different metals from the mines of Liares and especially from the abundant olive oil produced in the region. It was finally closed in 1985, to passengers and goods. It was possibly called "Oil train.". The tour begins in the sports "Las Fuentezuelas" of the jienese capital, continues by Torredelcampo, Torredonjimeno, Martos and concludes the jienese part of the Green Route, on the great iron bridge over the Guadaljoz River, right in the tail of the Vadomojón swamp, in the municipal term of Alcaudete. On his way through Torredonjimeno, right in the km. 15, the Green Way of Oil is in a 120 m tunnel. After passing by the site of the station (km 15.5), a gentle rise of about 5 km is started. La Vía directed her path to the imposing Peña de Martos, with a winding track, crossing through a lower step (km 20) and two new metal walkways, the A-316.

Historia

The the geographical location of Torredonjimeno, located in an area of fertile land and in a crossing of roads that links the lands of Jaén with the Cordobese countryside, has allowed the presence of human communities throughout history.

The oldest data retract us to the existence of an Iberian population called Cosiria (hence the Gentile applied to the inhabitants of Torredonjimeno, of "the Syrians").

After Roman conquest, joined to Martos gets the rating of a colony with the name Augusta Gemina.There is little news about the Spanish-Muslim stage. To highlight inclusion as part of Martos.

In 1224 he became part of the Spanish crown, and years later Fernando III would grant this entire territory of the countryside to the Military Order of Calatrava, so that it would repopulate and defend it as a border until well advanced in the 15th century.

This border condition will determine the lifting of a good number of watchmen to defend the territory: Tower of the Foncada, Tower of the Alcázar and the existing one in Venzala

From this time it is born its current name which refers to the existence of a military enclave (Tower) and the name of one of its first warlords, D. Ximene of the Raya.

Around 1369, in the middle of the border in the area, Torredonjimeno, already has a walled enclosure that defended the whole city.

By 1526, when the Emperor Charles I went to Seville to marry Isabel of Portugal, he stayed in the palace of Gonzalo de Villalta.

The Year 1558 will be decisive for the history of Torredonjimeno, as, this year, the Princess Joan of Austria, governor of the kingdoms of the Monarchy in the absence of Philip II, grants independence to the villa, definitely taking her away from the dependence of Martos.

The 15th century will be a stage of expansion and prosperity. However, the XVII will know the bad crops, epidemics, hunger, the fall of the population... Despite this, in 1637, the construction of one of the most beautiful buildings is started: the City Council.

In 18th century, it starts a recovery in the style of the new illustrated society promoted by Charles III. During these years, cultivated areas are growing, and olive trees will replace other arable crops in many places.

The years of drought and poor crops, as well as the periods of war and emigration to industrial cities, meant that people were lost in these localities.

In year 2005is declared by the Council of Culture of the Junta de Andalucía, Good of Cultural Interest in the category of Historical set, in recognition of the historical and urban values of the city.

  • Cerro Miguelico. On the surface of an old oppídum and taking advantage of a cyclopeia wall (9th and X century), a plateau that would be the germ of the present town of Torredelcampo is consolidated. On its west side, a cyclopoeia wall and in the south-east is still preserved a Visigoda necropolis. On the east side is the hermitage of Santa Ana.
  • Church of San Bartolomé. It responds to a medieval project, still visible in the sacristy and major altar. Most of its current configuration takes place in the 16th century, involving the architects, Francisco del Castillo "El Viejo" and Francisco Castillo "El Mozo." In its bell tower is located the shield belonging to the bishop of the Diocese of Jaén. Inside it houses the Christ of the Vera Cross (16th century).
  • Berrueco Castle. It is located next to an old road crossing (Jaén-Arjona-Martos) of high strategic value, as attested by the settlement of Cerro San Antón. The fortress is built on a rocky exit, structured in two spaces, of which the upper one is delimited by two circular towers and one of a square floor, all with internal dependencies.
  • Torre de la Muña. Located at the top of a small ameseado, it is defined as a fortification under medieval (XIV-XV century), several wall canvases and a magnificent square-floor tower, built in masonry and structure in two rooms covered with pointed vaults.
  • Tower of La Aldehuela. Square floor fortification, structured on two floors covered with pointed vault. The remains of a hydraulic system used for field irrigation can still be seen next to them.
  • Forgotten Tower. It is located on an Ibero-Roman settlement and next to the road from Jaén to Arjona. It is believed to date from the second half of the 13th century. It was built in the Andalusian era and reformed after its conquest by the Spanish. It has a cylindrical shape, 8 m in diameter and has a height of about 7 m., with a door located several meters from the level of the ground. It has breathtaking panoramic views, oak and complaint sketches, fountains and venerations at every step, as well as a large number of animal species, which make the mountain saw a small ecological paradise.
Naturaleza

The flora of the term is dominated by olive, located in a large percentage of the land of the municipality. It also exists indigenous vegetation of the Mediterranean forest in the mountain areas, where we see species such as: the oak, coscoja, white jara, cornicabra, complaining and abundant number of aromatic plants such as lavender, rosemary or thyme.

The fauna is mostly made up of animals of medium or small size. The large vertebrate fauna associated with forests and bushes is currently very little due to the agricultural transformation and persecution of many species. The great Iberian mammals: the bear, the wolf and the lince... disappeared. Other species of great natural value such as the royal eagle or the royal owl They still have some couples.

In addition to invertebrates, small fauna is particularly interesting. Insectivorous birdsthe ecological role they play. Birds like look at it, the zorzal, the red petrored, the curled... play a very important role in insect control to avoid possible harmful pests.

For nature lovers, Torredelfield offers various natural resources to make routes, tour theGreen Oil Way or close to the natural space of the Bañizuela, offers unparalleled views of the landscape of the countryside and the surrounding mountains.

  • Green Oil Way. It is presented as a new and attractive offer of interior tourism based on the use and recovery of the old Jaén - Campo Real (Córdoba) railway as a green corridor, ideal for the practice of cycling, hiking and other sports in contact with nature. Built between 1882 and 1893, this railway belongs to the line Linar- Puente Genil, and was dedicated for much of the 20th century to the transport of different metals from the mines of Liares and especially from the abundant olive oil produced in the region. It was finally closed in 1985, to passengers and goods. It was commonly called "Oil Train." The tour begins in the sports "Las Fuentezuelas" of the jienese capital, continues by Torredelcampo, Torredonjimeno, Martos and concludes the jienese part of the Green Route, on the great iron bridge over the Guadaljoz River, right in the tail of the Vadomojón swamp, in the municipal term of Alcaudete.

  • Bañizuela Forest.This Natural Monument has the interest of being an island forest of a Mediterranean character and of a small extension which, although located in a dry climate, has a large number of species of unique beauty: up to 22 trees and 15 types of mushrooms of subhumid climates, presenting botanical specimens of great antiquity. Surrounded by olive trees, it is characterized by the presence of complaints and underwoods made up of durillo, slime, coscoja, yellow jasmine, madreselva... and the interesting legume called "spindles." There are examples of arrayan or myrtle, usually of arbustive bearing, but this one we find in the Forest of Bañizuela stands out precisely for its large size and the thickness of its trunk, more specific to a tree than to a bush. Located very close to the urban core of Torredelcampo, to the west of Jaén capital, it presents small witnesses of gallery forest, such as the Barranco Megatín, where there are chopos.
Fiestas y Eventos

Another reason to stop at Torredelfield are their multiple and colorful parties:

  • Romeria de Santa Ana. It is celebrated on the first Sunday of May, and is considered one of the most fun and frequented romaneries in the province. This day almost all the people meet in Cerro Miguelico, where the hermitage that houses the patron is located. A spraying mass is held and the patron is processed on the hill. It is declared a National Tourist Interest Party.
  • The Fair in honor of Santa Ana and the Virgin Girl. It is celebrated around July 26, and in it the fun and the musical performances of quality are guaranteed. The image of Santa Ana and the Virgin Girl is lowered in the Rosary of the Aurora to the church of San Bartolomé, after the ninth, the Virgin Girl is exposed in a besieged devotee.

Other celebrations include:

  • The night of the crumbs, is a celebration that is framed later than the San Antónwhich is January 17 and coincides with the end of the pruning of olive trees and branches, in which they are made "lumbres" in the streets. In Lthe night of the crumbs,groups of friends and families gather to make crumbs in the bonfires, among the participants a draw is made, usually the prize is a cochinillo that gives away the City of Torredelcampo. Fun and entertainment are guaranteed.
Gastronomía

The Torredelfield cuisine has top quality ingredients: virgin olive oil, orchard products and game meat (gamo, corzo, hare, perdiz, rabbit...), among the most traditional:

  • Chickpeas, especially of Easter. They can carry acergas, spinach, muffins...
  • Potato tabletThey can bring lamb, kid, rabbit, hare... For these places, given the orography, the caprine cattle are better adapted than the sheep.
  • Migas and gachas. They argue that the crumbs are made with bread and the gaches are made with flour. It was the breakfast of the quadrillas on the long days of the olive collection. They were added, grapes, chorizo, morcilla, eggs, cod... As far as possible.
  • Rhinestones, calandrajos and tallarines. They are made with a fine mass of flour, and may be hare or cod.
  • Other: chorizos, morcillas and "angellos" (this name is given the mass of meat before it is infused). The area has good meat industries and make chorizos, salchichon with the meat of game animalsthat give it a very particular taste.

Historia

The first signs of human occupation on torrecampeña lands go back to Calcolytic, according to the findings found in deposits near the municipality.

Although the most important date from the Iberian periodin particular the Cerro Villarfato (Cerro del Pintado), being a network of fortified settlements called "oppidum."

During Roman occupation the Iberian population scheme, with an abundant number of agricultural centressome of them considered villae, like the one in La Muña, Forgotten Tower, Cerro de San Anton, La Divina. The set would be complemented by towers or defensive settlements (Turres) from which one example is preserved in the New Cortijo.

The origin of the present municipality would be very related to the former inhabitants of the Iberian oppidum of Cerro Miguelico. A settlement that, after a deep crisis, is abandoned in the first and second centuries of the century, moving the population to the north-west slope and to the current Torredelcampo site, establishing small settlements aimed at the agricultural exploitation of the irrigated area (gardens).

This situation continues until the final settlement of Muslims in the eighth century. During the Omeya Caliphate (10th century) the current term is attached to two of the main fiscal districts, the Aqalim de Martus (Martos) and Yayyan (Jaén).

This small village, along with others, is consolidated and fortified during the Almohade period, due to the proximity of the border with the Christian territories.

After the conquest by Fernando III "el Santo," is integrated into the realingo territories under the jurisdiction of Jaén.

Once the border with the kingdom of Granada has been disconnected, at the end of the 15th century, some municipalities begin the procedures to segregate themselves from the domain of the great councils.

It will be the case of Torredelcamp, which is bound by the Chancellery of the Catholic Kings to remain under the jurisdiction of Jaén.

The segregation disputes would continue until the 10 June 1804, date on which it is finally segregated, obtaining the title of Villa by Charles IV.

Sorihuela de Guadalimar is a municipality divided into two realities. Your term of fact is separated into two parts. Where the village extends, Sorihuela looks to the county, while in another good piece of the municipal term it is within Las Sierras de Cazorla, Segura and Las Villas.

It is one of the localities where vegetation has a greater variety, along with the species of the High mountain, such as larix pine or acebo, they live with other species that develop to lower heightsuch as black pine, tejo or boj and with those that develop in the lowest area: melojo oak, oak oak, coconut, olive trees, and other endemic and aromatic plants.

To this vegetation we will add the one that develops in the river banks: chopos, willows, mumberas, tarais...The faunain line with the plant variety and the numerous habitats in the term, abundant and diverse.

A mountain rapes, eagles, broken bones, lethargy vultures, the cynetic speciesboth major game, deer, muflon, boar, like the minor hunting, rabbit, hare, parrots, quail...

Gastronomía

The massacres of the pig, which, in addition to bringing together relatives and friends, filled the beams of the kitchens with chorizos, morcillas and salchicones that ensure the contumio of the year.
