Úbeda y Baeza, Patrimonio de la Humanidad

The traveller is immersed in a walk full of history, a place stopped in time, where the poetry, the legacy of the stone, the flavours of the oil and its traditions, turn these two cities into a unique cultural legacy.
The cities of Úbeda and Baeza, which have been declared World Heritage Sites, preserve that spell from 500 years ago and make them the greatest exponent of the Spanish Renaissance. Surrounded by olive groves with the Guadalquivir River at their feet, these two cities preserve the original layout of ancient times between their streets. Úbeda represents private architecture and civil power, and Baeza represents public architecture and religious power. The two most outstanding figures of those times were Francisco de los Cobos, secretary to Charles I, and his architect Andrés de Vandelvira, author of the most superb monuments in both cities.
