Úbeda (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈuβeða]; from Arabic Ubbada al-`Arab and this from Iberian Ibiut) is a town in the province of Jaén in Spain's autonomous community of Andalusia, with some 36,025 inhabitants. Both this city and the neighbouring city of Baeza benefited from extensive patronage in the early 16th century resulting in the construction of a series of Renaissance style palaces and churches, which have been preserved ever since. In 2003, UNESCO declared the historic cores and monuments of these two towns a World Heritage Site.

This plaza is the historic centre of Ubeda and is surrounded by a most impressive range of classical renaissance churches and palaces. A UNESCO World heritage site, it is the sparkling jewel in the crown of Ubeda. Much of what you see is the result of the work of the mason architect, Vandelvira. An exhibition of his work can be found in the basement of the Palacio de las Cadenas (Correct June 2018).

Very old church and certainly worth visiting. I think it was a donation of 2 Euros for entry. Very simple inside but many (unsure of the words) of the catholic representations that are carried around the town on feast days. Note - you enter from a rear door.

La Sinagoga del Agua has been discovered in 2007 and opened to public visits in 2010 in the monumental city of Úbeda by the family Crespo- López. It is a totally private initiative of restauration of a space hidden into several houses belonging to different families where they were living a normal life, with no idea about the greatness of the place walled into their houses. The visit costs 4,50€ per person (3,50€ kids under 12 and groups over 15 persons). All visits are guided IN SPANISH and last about 30 minutes. We have written information in ENGLISH, FRENCH, GERMAN, ITALIAN and BRAILLE Private guided visits are available, booking required, outside of the opening timetable (see calendar on web site) Information and booking: Artificis
This was very moving. After seeing many ancient Christian and Muslim houses of worship and artifacts, it was refreshing to visit this gem representing the important presence of the Jewish population of Spain

The Plaza Vazquez de Molina is the heart of this the historic town and is surrounded by a most impressive range of classical renaissance churches and palaces. A UNESCO World heritage site, it is the sparkling jewel in the crown of Ubeda. Much of what you see is the result of the work of the mason architect, Vandelvira. An exhibition of his work can be found in the basement of the Palacio de las Cadenas (June 2018). There is also the Hospital de Santiago where many local cultural events take place (Lace making and a dancing schools competition when we were there). The pottery area in the Calle de Valencia is also worth a visit.
