This important and populated city is situated on the hills of the same name, in the geographic centre of the province, in a landscape of olive trees and cereal fields.

Úbeda is undoubtedly an artistic and monumental city, and one of the most glorious and stately in Andalusia. Castillian and Renaissance through and through, it contains so many monuments, churches, palaces and noble houses that it is best to take a walk and let oneself be transported to the time of its historic splendour. The Chapel of El Salvador, situated in the incomparable Town Hall Square, the Church of San Pablo, the Church of Santa Marí­a de los Reales Alcázares, the Church of la Trinidad, the Oratory of San Juan de la Cruz, the Monastery of Santa Clara, the Palace of the Vela de los Cobos Family, the Palace of las Cadenas, the House of las Torres, the Hospital of Santiago, the Hospital of los Honorados Viejos del Salvador, the Clock Tower, the Murallas de la Cava (city walls), the Pottery Museum and the Parador Nacional de Turismo, are some of the marvels to be found in this surprising city.
