El Pajaro is one of the mid range options on the square. Lots of open air bars and stands serving fried fish and typical tapas. By far one of the most charming spots in Baeza.
On one side of the square you have the Puerta de Jaen. The old gate was built in , would have been the gateway for the old road to the city of Jaen. The gateway was once a section of the walled medieval city.
In the centre of the square is the Lions fountain. This Roman fountain was moved to Baeza in The fountain is crowned with a statue of Imilce, Iberian princess and the wife of Hanibal.
This building was once the public archive. Next to the tourist information is a stepped street that takes you uphill to the Cathedral. You can also wander through the Jaen archway up a sloped street too. As with many Andalusian churches and cathedrals, its was built on the site of a mosque. In the new Gothic style Cathedral was built and work continued until Later there were other modifications and additions over the centuries.
In Baeza there is a tourist train from Plaza del Populo. The route takes you round the main points of interest. I remember that some of the narrow streets were quite tight and it seemed like the train would get stuck. The streets surrounding the Cathedral are timeless. They are narrow with some of the typical walkways joining buildings cobertizos. Another monumental site is the one formed by the Jabalquinto Palace and the Seminary of San Felipe Neri, which currently houses the International University of Andalusia.
It is worth visiting the Function Room, where the Romanesque capitals of the old church of San Juan are preserved.
Another place that should not missed is the Old University. This 16 th century building was also the Education Institute where the distinguished poet, Antonio Machado, gave French classes for many years. It is one of Baeza's most charming corners where, beside noble buildings, parts of the old walls and their gate remain.
To this is added the elegant shape of the church of San Pablo, situated nearby. In these places you will be surprised by fine examples of the legacy of Andalus. A 13 th -century Arab fortress, a 16 th -century Renaissance palace and a typical Andalusian farmhouse offer rooms for relaxing on the journey.
Traditional Baeza desserts are walnut tarts, "ochios" a small cake made with aniseed and crystallised fruits. What to see in the destination See more. Help preserve sites now! Join the , Members. Search Advanced. By Properties.
