The blanket of nighttime brings out the best in some cities, and now you can discover that transformation yourself on this night tour of Baeza. Join us to discover the many charms of this Spanish city.
Baeza Night Tour
At the scheduled time, we'll meet up on Obispo Narváez street and set off on our night tour of the city of Baeza.
We'll start our tour walking along the Paseo de la Constitución, where the Aliatares Tower is located, a key element of the Muslim wall. We'll continue through the Alhóndiga, built in the 16th century for commercial purposes. This place has a passageway that connects to the Old Granary, a building that stands out due to its numerous vaults.
Then, our walk through Baeza will take us to the Plaza del Pópulo. Once there, we'll see the famous fountain of the Lions, the Old Butchers, the Jaen Gate, and the Arch of Villalar, among other places of interest. The immensity of this square is quite impressive, and acquires an eerie atmosphere at nightfall, contrasting with the hustle and bustle during the day.
We'll continue on to the Plaza de Santa Maria, characterized by the stone fountain in its center. We'll discover why this place was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2003.
Within the Plaza de Santa Maria itself is the city's cathedral: an impressive architectural ensemble, next to the Fountain of Santa Maria and the Casas Consistoriales Altas. You'll become enthralled with the massive dome that crowns the cathedral.
We'll be surprised by the magnificent views from the lookout point at Paseo de Antonio Machado over the Guadalquivir Valley. From this viewpoint, we'll get to see the Natural parks of Sierra de Cazorla, Segura, and Las Villas, the neighboring city of Ubeda, Sierra Magina and all its villages, and even Jaen Capital. We'll visit the Plaza de Santa Cruz where the Santa Cruz church is located, the only Romanesque church in Andalusia, as well as the Palace of Jabalquinto, one of the best examples in Spain of a flamboyant Gothic façade. Then we'll observe the Old University, built in the XVI century, which will allow us to pay tribute to the illustrious poet Antonio Machado, a professor for seven years in this city.
Important to Note
On some occasions and for reasons beyond our control, the interior of some buildings will be closed and we won't be able to access them.
