Úbeda Spain - Ancient Town & UNESCO World Heritage Site - Andalusia Spain 2024
Úbeda is a municipality of Spain located in the province of Jaén, Andalusia. Both this town and the neighboring 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 centers and landmarks of these two towns a World Heritage Site.
Legend has it that Úbeda was established by Tubal, a descendant of Noah. The city's name is said to have originated from the mythical tower of King Ibiut.
Archaeological evidence indicates the earliest settlements in Úbeda going back to the Copper Age, and are situated in the oldest part of town known as Cerro del Alcázar.
Recent archaeological investigations have revealed a history spanning six millennia; thus, Úbeda stands as the "oldest city, scientifically substantiated, in Western Europe". This assertion comes from the research team led by Professor Francisco Nocete, based on findings from 35 Carbon-14 datings conducted at the Las Eras del Alcázar site.
The most outstanding feature of the city is the monumental Vázquez de Molina Square, surrounded with imposing Renaissance buildings such as the Palacio de las Cadenas and the Basílica de Santa María de los Reales Alcázares.
The city is not as well known as other historic sites in this region of Spain so you will be able to explore at your own pace. It can also be combined with a visit to the neighboring town of Baeza.
