Description
Discover the Jaén of the three cultures and its emblematic sites, the Renaissance Cathedral, the Jewish Quarter, the legend of the Lizard of Jaén and the Church of La Magdalena.
Meet our guide in the Plaza de Santa María where you will start discovering the buildings of the Town Hall, the Archbishop's Palace and the impotent Cathedral of Jaén. The latter will be the protagonist of our first part of the tour.
Jaén Cathedral was conceived in the 16th century to replace the previous Gothic temple of the 15th century. The construction took several centuries, although the original idea was maintained. With the entrance ticket included in this Tour you will get to know its interior and all the richness it houses.
Visit one of the most exclusive places in the city, the Arch of San Lorenzo. It is of the few example of mudéjar architecture in Jaén and discover its rich history.
Continue through the streets of the Jewish quarter, where you will find the Fuente de los Caños, Francisco del Castillo's drinking fountain. Continue along Calle Rostro to wander through these labyrinthine and narrow streets more typical of other times.
Finally, you will discover the legend of the Lizard of Jaén, and you will see the exterior of the Church of La Magdalena, the only parish church in the city which, despite being Christian, still maintains vestiges of one of the major mosques of Jaén.
