Monday Morning Photo - Arco de Villarla in Renaissance Baeza

Renaissance Baeza, a unesco city twinned with Úbeda, 7km away, was a recent visit and first overnight stay. It dates back from the Visigoths but what we see today is an abundance of fabulous sandstone monuments built from the riches gained from agriculture in the 16th century, like the former Civil Court and Notary, now a tourist office. Arco de Villarlar and Tourist Office, Baeza See the Monday Morning Photo List.

Monday Morning Photo - Jaén´s Renaissance Cathedral

Even though the lovely old plaza in front of the cathedral had it´s magnolia trees ripped out and nothing put in place I have to admit every time I see this cathedral I´m impressed.




It is enormous and magnificent from the outside and over-the-top in religiosity inside, it´s also home to one of the cloths that was used to wipe Christ’s face on his way to be crucified. Every Friday people are allowed to kiss the cloth.
