Alcalá la Real is located at a strategic point between the Guadalquivir Valley and the plains of Granada, which has given it a significant role in Andalusian history. The city's origins date back to prehistoric times, as evidenced by finds from the Paleolithic and Bronze Ages. During the Roman era, the settlement of Sucaelo was probably located here. An impressive marble sculpture of Hercules also dates from this period. Today, Alcalá la Real is characterized by a diverse cultural heritage. The impressive La Mota fortress is just one of many historical buildings, which also include numerous churches and monasteries. The city is also known for its lively traditional festivals and diverse cuisine, which attracts numerous visitors.

Beautiful and lively place. Nice restaurants and cafes

In memory of the man who was Justice of the Peace of Noalejo from 2008 to 2022, the town has named an avenue after him and to show its gratitude, the Town Hall has placed a monolith with an inscription carved in stone.

Next to the Town Hall and almost in the same square, is the church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción, which also dates back to the 16th century and is in the Mudejar style. As a curious fact, it has inside a painting of the town's patron saint, the Virgin of Bethlehem, and a copy of the Shroud of Turin, both from the 16th century and which belonged to Doña Mencía de Salcedo.

In the same town square is the municipal building, which dates back to the end of the 16th century, although this building originally had a different purpose, as it was built for religious purposes. Thus, the façade contained a bell gable in which a bell was installed, which no longer exists after the renovations carried out on this building.

Just before entering the square of Noalejo, we find this beautiful mural that is worth seeing. It is a painted representation of local tasks and the most popular festivals of the town. There we can see the action of harvesting olives, as well as the geographical description of the area by the visualization of several mountains. Likewise, we can also see one of the most significant Spanish traditions whose practice is limited to the town's festivals, and that hobby is bullfighting.

Beautiful fountain located in front of the church and in an elevated, multi-level step area. Overall it's a beautiful picture.

Alcalá la Real is a spectacular town in Jaen that is located on a strategic natural communication route between the Guadalquivir valley and the Granada plain. This location has given it great importance over the centuries. On the hill of La Mota stands a fortress of the same name that is a collection of civilizations, especially from the Muslim period, although the Romans previously settled here, and later Gothic and Renaissance style buildings were added.
