Úbeda Guided Visit +Tickets
Úbeda Guided Visit +Tickets
During our tour of the old town of Úbeda, we'll revisit the history and culture of a city that was declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco.
Founded over two millennia ago and inhabited by all the peoples that have occupied the Iberian Peninsula, Úbeda experienced its golden age during the Renaissance. We'll explore the medieval streets of the historic center to discover the history of the city and observe the rich architecture preserved within its walls.
During the guided tour we'll admire majestic Renaissance palaces and convents erected in the 15th and 16th centuries when some of the nobility of Úbeda attained great power in the court. We'll visit the Chapel of the Savior, where one of the most influential nobles rests: Francisco de Los Cobos, secretary of Charles I. We'll also pass by other historic buildings, including the Hospital de Los Honrados Viejos de El Salvador, the Oratory of San Juan de la Cruz, the Palace of the Count of Guadiana. We'll conclude the visit by entering one of the main monuments made by the architect Andrés de Vandelvira, the Vela de Los Cobos Palace, which has one of the most important art galleries and private libraries in Andalusia.
