20의 오베다가지 명소 & 주요 장소

The Church of San Pablo was built in the 13th century on the site of a former mosque. This church is one of the oldest in the city and impresses with its blend of styles: a Romanesque portal, known as the Carpenters' Gate, a Renaissance-style side facade, and a late Gothic interior. The church is located in Plaza Primero de Mayo, also known as Paseo del Mercado (Market Square), as for centuries public markets were held here, as well as political events such as city council elections, religious services, and theatrical performances. Around the square, you can see the old Town Hall, the monument to Saint John of the Cross in the center, and at number 20, the house where Joaquín Sabina was born.

The Sacra Capilla de El Salvador is located at the far end of the Plaza Vázquez de Molina. It is the family mausoleum of Francisco de los Cobos, secretary to Emperor Charles V. Its façade and portal, both in the Plateresque style, are particularly noteworthy.

Declared a National Monument in 1931, the cathedral stands on the site of an ancient Roman temple, later transformed into a Visigothic structure and then into a mosque after the arrival of the Muslims. In 1227, it became the cathedral seat under the Marian patronage of the Nativity. It acquired its Renaissance character in the 16th century, after more than half of the building collapsed in 1567. Andrés de Vandelvira and other important Andalusian architects imbued the cathedral with the classical style then prevalent in religious art. Until the end of the century, the temple was transformed piecemeal. The main portal was designed in 1587 by Juan Bautista Villalpando, featuring a relief of the Nativity of the Virgin, sculpted by the Jesuit Jerónimo del Prado from Baeza. The Puerta de la Luna (Moon Gate) is one of the oldest elements of the cathedral, with its distinctive 13th-century polylobed arch. Above it stands the 14th-century Gothic rose window, one of the few elements that survived the collapse of the cathedral in 1567. Therefore, the reconstruction was entrusted to Andrés de Vandelvira, who contributed his mastery to give the cathedral the Renaissance richness it boasts today. The combination of Mudéjar, Gothic, and Renaissance styles allows one to observe the passage of time through its walls, telling its story through each of its architectural styles. In addition to visiting the interior of the cathedral, it is highly recommended to climb the tower, from where you will be rewarded with spectacular views of the town and its surrounding countryside.

A temple of Visigothic origin, built in the 17th century as a church dedicated to Catholic worship, it is part of the city's Renaissance architectural complex, which was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2003.

It's fun to climb the tower: 196 steps to a beautiful view.

Curiously, this building is not a church and has never belonged to the church, but rather it is a huge pantheon belonging to the Cobos family. If we take into account that Francisco de los Cobos was secretary of state of Emperor Charles I of Spain, he was also a patron and knight of the Great Order of Santiago, we can get an idea of the important power that this family had. In 1522 and when he was 45 years old, he married Doña María de Mendoza y Sarmiento, who was 14 years old, to guarantee offspring, since she had the title of countess.

Church located in the Plaza Primero de Mayo, it is Romanesque-Gothic-Renaissance-Baroque style (XIII-XVIII) Located in an old mosque, its three portals stand out: the Carpinteros to the west dating from the 13th century, the Main one located to the south carved in 1511 in the Gothic-Elizabethan style, and finally the North Portal which was built between 1483 and 1489. There is a fountain attached to the apse and was built in 1591.

In this building, which was originally the residence of the religious authorities of the Baeza Cathedral, the city's Conservatory of Music was located, until it was moved there during the 2002/2003 academic year.
