This imposing Christian castle, which stands proudly on top of the hill of the same name, was built after the reconquest of Jaén by Ferdinand III, partly on the remains of a Moorish fortress. The castle is the beginning of the ramparts that once surrounded the entire city, of which only the Puerta del Angel, a restored Baroque gate, and the Arco de San Lorenzo and Arco del Consuelo remain. The parade ground is bordered by four watchtowers; the keep towers above it all, offering fantastic views** of the blue-hued Sierra de Jabalcuz and the vast olive groves.

The Castle of Santa Catalina is the emblem of the city of Jaén.
Located on a promontory visible from many kilometers, it served as a strategic place to house the troops who stayed there throughout history.
Today it is rehabilitated and you can visit the inside, but it is also advisable to walk to the cross of the castle from where you can see absolutely spectacular panoramic views, not only of the city, but also of a large part of the province.

Napoleonic troops were stationed in the castle for some time.
Following the French invasion and subsequent withdrawal of Napoleonic troops from the Castle of Santa Catalina after the failure in the famous Battle of Bailén in 1812, the French destroyed the castle in retaliation before leaving.
