Things to see and do Province Of Jaén

It is one of the oldest churches in the city, built in Visigothic times. But it has many styles: Gothic, Renaissance, the latter having made it even more beautiful. Note the carpenters' door, puerta de los carpinteros, which overlooks Calle Cervantes, in late Romanesque style, and its main door, overlooking Piazza ^{1 de Mayo}, in Elizabethan Gothic style, in which plant motifs predominate. Inside, the various chapels show a very beautiful ironwork.

It was built by Vandelvira from 1540 onwards, although the original plans are attributed to Diego de Siloé, who was the architect of the cathedrals of Granada and Málaga. And it is one of the most important works of the Spanish Renaissance, especially due to its magnificent main altarpiece of the Transfiguration, as well as the sacristy, with its decoration symbolizing vices and virtues. The audioguide is a valuable aid.

Dating from the 18th century, Hacienda La Laguna houses a hotel, a hotel school and a museum of olive tree cultivation created in 1997. Very well designed, it includes various oil mills and a variety garden. We will also visit its monumental bodega built in 1848, classified as a property of cultural interest and called the"OliveCathedral". An essential step to familiarize yourself with the many varieties of oil and production methods.

It is one of the key elements to understand the position and function of a frontier town like Alcalá la Real. During the lower Middle Ages, this system served as a communication system between cities, and the region had many. Those who saw Lord of the Rings will have a little idea of what a fire ignition system means to give the alarm. Today, there are only nine towers and the road dedicated to them can walk through the tower of Moraleja y del Cascante, from downtown. Next to the last tower is the Fuente del Rey, with an old lace, and the church Santa Ana, dating back to the sixteenth century.

After 19 years of project and an investment of 27 million euros (junta de Andalucia and the European Union), the new Iberian Museum of Jaén was inaugurated in December 2017 by the King. A presence commensurate with the project and ambition. On the premises of the former Jaén prison, an ultra-modern building of more than 11,000 m² now houses nearly 3,500 items relating to Iberian culture, nearly 40% of which have never been exhibited and are the result of excavations carried out in recent years in the province. This will make this museum the most important reference in this field for the whole of Spain. The province is also the most significant Iberian site on the entire peninsula. This is an opportunity to note that while this crop gave its name to Spain, it also left it many agricultural tools, pottery techniques, crops such as vines, olives and almonds. Not to mention the patio houses that survived until the Roman conquest.
