Iglesia de Santa Cruz, Baeza

The Iglesia de Santa Cruz (late 13^th Century) is Romanic, the only one of its kind in Baeza to have remained reasonably intact. There’s beautiful architecture wherever you look in this square and it’s worth just standing and taking in your surroundings. Few old towns in the whole of Spain can claim to be as intact as in Baeza and the effect is magical as you seem to be transported back in time, not a block of flats in sight!

El Palacio de Jabalquinto

From the Antigua Universidad you’ll follow straight on down Calle Beato Ávila until we reach the Plaza de Santa Cruz, a gorgeous square where two of Baeza’s most prized monuments stand opposite each other. They’re highly unusual in style in the context of so much Renaissance architecture, as the Palacio de Jabalquinto is Gothic, although with an inevitable Renaissance touch in the shape of its patio.
