To fully appreciate the beauty of Baeza there is a short but illuminating walk to be done. Walk through the Puerta de Jaén off the Plaza de Leones, go along the Paseo Muralles (following the route of the old city walls) around the edge of Baeza. From this street there are fantastic views of the surrounding plains and the mountains of Cazorla national park. Cut back to the Plaza Mayor via the stone-walled arched alleyways which hide behind the Cathedral.

Baeza's cathedral is probably the most under-appreciated in
Andalucía, which in a way is a shame as the façade is so intricately designed. Inside the building itself are brillianely painted 16th century rejas (iron screens) created by Maestro Bartolomé - the master of this craft. Part of the old mosque over which the cathedral was built can be seen in the cloister.

Plaza Mayor, Baeza

The Plaza Mayor and the nearby Plaza de Leones is the heart of the town and the point for showing off the stunning Renaissance buildings which surround the renowned cobbled square. Eighteenth century fountains add a calm air to the square as well.

The Plaza Mayor and Plaza de Leones is a mere 10 min walk from Baeza's bus station. Both are clearly signposted.
