What to do and see in Baeza, Andalucia: The Best Points of Interest & Landmarks
Baeza (Spanish pronunciation: [baˈeθa]), formerly also written as Baéza, is an Andalusian town in the province of Jaén in southern Spain. It lies perched on a cliff in the Loma de Úbeda, the range separating the Guadalquivir River to its south from the Guadalimar to its north. It is now principally famed for having some of the best-preserved examples of Italian Renaissance architecture in Spain. Along with Úbeda, it was added to UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites in 2003. The former Visigothic bishopric of Baeza remains a Latin Catholic titular see.

Plaza del Populo, as well as Plaza de Santa Maria, is another Baeza square, which is one of the oldest and was one of the most important in the town at Middle Ages. This square is also known as Plaza de Los Leones. There are some objects of interest in this Plaza. The square is surrounded by buildings of Antigua Carniceria, Casa del Populo (there is Office of Tourism), Puerta de Jaen and the Arch of Villalar. There is also the Roman (!) fountain with the statue of Iberian princess in the center of the square.

Surrounded by olive trees the views are amazing. The old city is very interesting but not suitable for a wheelchair as very hilly and cobbled streets. A must is to visit an olive oil factory. We visited one in Begijar. 12euros for a taxi there and 12 back. Very helpful. We stayed at the top of Baeza near the cathedral and is was very difficult driving the car up there. Limited parking in the hotel garage. But a lovely place and would certainly return.
