    A highly recommended guided tour. Despite the intense heat, the guide made the tour very enjoyable, sharing interesting facts and explanations that allowed us to discover monuments and small details of the city that we would otherwise have missed. My husband and I loved it!

Tour Details

During our tour of the old town of Úbeda, we'll revisit the history and culture of a city that was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

Founded over two millennia ago and inhabited by all the peoples that have occupied the Iberian Peninsula, Úbeda experienced its golden age during the Renaissance. We'll explore the medieval streets of the historic center to discover the history of the city and observe the rich architecture preserved within its walls.

During the guided tour we'll admire majestic Renaissance palaces and convents erected in the 15th and 16th centuries when some of the nobility of Úbeda attained great power in the court. We'll visit the Chapel of the Savior, where one of the most influential nobles rests: Francisco de Los Cobos, secretary of Charles I. We'll also pass by other historic buildings, including the Hospital de Los Honrados Viejos de El Salvador, the Oratory of San Juan de la Cruz, and the Palace of the Count of Guadiana.

Please Note

  • The entire tour is accessible except for the second floor of the Vela de los Cobos Palace, where there is no way for guests to go up.
  • Sometimes, due to reasons outside of our control, the interior of certain buildings will be closed, and we won't be able to go in.
  • Between July 22 and July 31 (inclusive), the Vela de los Cobos Palace cannot be visited.
