There is a beautiful place near the cathedral, enliven by jacarandes from South America, offering beautiful purple flowers. This restored fortress of the th century has beautiful courtyards, gardens and Arab baths and has no less than towers, the best preserved being those of the En and the Octagonal. In 1264, during the re-conquest of the city by Alphonse X the Wise, the tower of the En was transformed into a royal residence and the mosque became the chapel Santa María la Real.
