Overview
Úbeda’s architecture is a unique blend of Islamic and Italian Renaissance influences. The fine craftsmanship that can still be found within the historic town centre has earned Úbeda (and its neighbour Baeza) UNESCO World Heritage Site status. On this walking tour, you’ll explore Úbeda’s 6,000-year-old history, which saw Muslims, Christians and Jews shaping its medieval old town. The tour starts beside the clock tower in Plaza de Andalucía, just outside the medieval town walls. As you walk, I’ll tell you about Úbeda’s strategic importance in the Middle Ages as a frontier town and agricultural centre. In the former Jewish quarter, you’ll find out why few traces remain of this once-thriving community. By the end of the tour in Plaza Vazquez de Molina, you’ll understand why a small Andalusian town like Úbeda is so packed with monumental Renaissance architecture. I’ll also tell you about some of the best places to sample Úbeda’s delicious local cuisine.
