The difficult layout of the Vía Verde del Aceite required the construction of tunnels and viaducts to overcome the terrain. As we left Jaén heading towards Córdoba, we came across this first metal viaduct, which stands out for its design and the material it was made of. It is 124 meters long and has a maximum height of 25 meters. It is based on the modernist construction technique typical of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The technique is similar to that used on the famous Eiffel Tower in Paris, but it was built and designed by disciples of the prodigious builder named Dayd'e and Pillé around 1890. The pieces and structure were constructed in the French city of Creil. This technique involves joining the parts with rivets that prevent the metal from welding.

After the cathedral, this is the largest religious building in the city. The church was built in the 14th and 15th centuries in Gothic style and has three portals: a Gothic portal with a mosaic of the apparition of the Virgin of the Chapel, the patron saint of Jaén, who according to legend liberated the city in 1430 during a Moorish siege; a Renaissance portal by Valdelvira; and a neoclassical portal added in the 18th century by Ventura Rodriguez, which is also the main entrance to the church. Inside, you can admire the main altarpiece by Pedro and Julio Roldan and the tabernacle by Pedro Duque Cornejo. In the Capilla de la Virgen, which is decorated with stained glass windows and frescoes, there is a statue of the patron saint of Jaén. Andrés de Vandelvira is also buried here.

On the ruins of the palace of the Moorish kings, Juan I had this monastery built, which would later house the Inquisition. The well-proportioned Renaissance façade was designed by Vandelvira. The 17th-century patio* has an elegant arcade on the ground floor and beautifully shaped windows above. Today, the monastery is home to the Archivo Historico Provincial.

Currently the headquarters of the Historical Archive of Jaén, it was run by the religious community of the Dominicans and later remodeled to house the city's Men's Hospice.

The Piedra del Águila offers a beautiful view of the surrounding landscapes. It takes its name "Piedra del Águila" from the stream. The bridge is located at kilometre 12 of this nature trail, after the Caballico tunnel. It is a metal viaduct, a paradigm of modern art of the late nineteenth century, in whose construction iron was used. It has a length of 104.50 metres and its maximum height reaches 25 metres.
