Guided Visit to Ubeda

Written By Andalucía Experiencias

Would you like to join us on our route through the city of Úbeda? Our local guides will begin their journey from the wonderful Plaza Vázquez de Molina, where almost without moving from the site we can learn the history of the most emblematic buildings of the city.

We will begin inside the Palacio de Juan Vázquez de Molina, we’ll see, among other things, one of the best examples of Renaissance patio, made by the great architect Andrés de Vandelvira. We will enter  the center of Andrés de Vandelvira to know their most important works in the province, we will visit the crypt of Juan Vasquez de Molina, we will contemplate our Minor Basilica, Holy Mary of the Reales Alcazares, (third church of the diocese of Jaen) we will visit its interior, transformed over the centuries by the different cultures that inhabited in Ubeda.

We will continue our journey after viewing the so called prison of the Bishop, the Palace of the Marquis of Mancera, the old granary and the Renaissance fountain (gift of the Senate Venetian to Francis of the Cobos) while we go to the interior of the palace of Deán Ortega. We cannot abandon this square without seeing the inside of the Sacred Chapel of the savior of the world, funeral pantheon of the Secretary of Carlos I of Spain and V of Germany.
