Jaén has a rich history and a great cultural legacy. The period of the Iberians, a historical period that left in the province of Jaen an important archaeological heritage, has led to the creation of a tourist-cultural itinerary "Journey to the Time of the Iberians." Eight centuries of Muslim presence, from the 8th to the 13th century, have left over 400 vestiges between castles, towers, fortresses and alcazabas, many of which can be visited thanks to the Route of the Castles and the Battle of the Kingdom of Jaén, such as the castle of Santa Catalina, the Fortress of the Mota or the castle of Baños de la Encina. The South Renaissance Route is one of the best examples of the importance that the Renaissance era had in the province of Jaén, leaving two cities declared the heritage of humanity, Ubeda and Baeza and the Cathedral of Jaén.
