Free tour of Historical Baeza
Tour description
Baeza , the so-called Royal Nest of Gavilanes .
We will begin the tour at the City Hall , formerly the Corregidor Palace, and the Municipal Jail . From there, and cornering the house where Antonio Machado lived, we will go to the Paseo , one of the largest arcaded squares in Spain . !Wait! Porticos in Andalusia? Indeed. Come to the tour and I'll tell you why :)
The next stop will be the beautiful Plaza de los Leones , with the Municipal Butcher Shops, the Casa del Pópulo, the fountain of the Lions, and the Puerta de la Azacaya and the Arco de Villalar, a reminder of our community past.
Along Conde Romanones Street , where we will see the Chapel of Cristo del Cambrón , we will head to the Old University , and there we will be able to see the Antonio Machado Classroom , the Auditorium and the Cloister.
Next, we will go to the Church of Santa Cruz , the only completely late Romanesque church in Andalusia, and in front of it, the Jabalquinto Palace , a late Gothic or Elizabethan jewel. A little higher up, the Plaza de Santa María awaits us, where we will see its imposing cathedral, that of the Nativity of the Virgin , built by our famous Andrés de Vandelvira . The Fountain of Santa María, the Giribaile Palace, and the Seminary of San Felipe Neri .
A return to the alleys of the cathedral, with its doors and the Sepulchral Lauda of San Pedro Pascual, will be the final culmination of this tour.
Come and discover this universal Baeza with the help of one of its children, a historian and passionate about his land!
