Important Renaissance architectural complex in Andalusia

Andalucia Tour ~ Jaén (Region) Like the nearby towns of Úbeda and Baeza, it has an important collection of Renaissance architecture. Its old town has been declared a cultural heritage. Sabiote is 66 km from the city of Jaén and is surrounded by vast cereal fields and olive groves. Its long history as a human settlement can be inferred from the Bronze Age and the discovered Phoenician remains. The Castle of Sabiot is located at one end of the city walls and is considered one of the main fortresses built in Jaén in the 16th century. It has majestic towers and battlements, and the view of the area from its location is one of its main attractions. You also have to see its exceptionally beautiful, heraldic, disc-shaped portal. Also within the walls, the access gates of the old town still stand out: the Puerta de Chirigot, the Puerta de Pelotero, the Puerta de San Bartoleme or the Puerta de Granada are among them. As you stroll through the historic center you'll also discover many noble houses and buildings with Renaissance facades and paneled details. There are other monuments that should not be missed, such as the Church of St. Peter, the Church of St. Mary or the Convent of the Discalced Carmelites. #2024TravelReview #SpainTravel #Andalucia
