At the top of the hill of Santa Catalina, next to the castle of the same name, stands the Parador de Jaén, crowning the city and offering visitors a spectacular view of the mountains of the Sierra Morena and Sierra Mágina.
A starting point and destination for discovering all the charms of the Andalusian Renaissance, the Parador de Jaén stands out for its façade of huge stone walls and impressive interior vaults. There you’ll fund a traditional look that combines sober defensive architecture with regional craftsmanship that will take you to another age.
The Parador de Jaén stands next to the archaeological complex on the hill of Santa Catalina, the origins of which go back to the Phoenicians and where the remains of a large 8th c. Moorish castle can be seen.
The castle’s strategic location has always made it important as a defensive outpost. During the Peninsular War it was used as a bulwark for Napoleon’s troops, which provoked the interest of a later French leader, Charles de Gaulle, who came to the castle in 1970 to study documentation on the war.

The ancient city of Jaen stands at the foot of the Parador, surrounded by mountains and olive fields, with its impressive Renaissance cathedral, the only one in Spain that is surrounded by balconies. The best way to discover the city is lose yourself in the old quarter, where you can see the emblematic Moorish Baths, the largest conserved bathhouses in Spain.
But Jaen is much more than a city. Nearby you’ll discover the Iberian heritage of the region at the hillfort or oppidum of Puente Tablas, or visit historical places such as Baeza and Úbeda, declared World Heritage Sites. If you like nature, Jaen has adventures for all tastes: relax in the peaceful setting of the Reservoir of the Quiebrajano, set off and explore the Natural Park of Sierra Mágina and its impressive views, or take a walk through the local plains amongst iuts characteristic olive fields, bathed by the river Guadalquivir. And if you want to learn more about the secrets of the olive oil making traditions in the region, the Museum of Olive Culture has a garden of varieties and a cellar of oils that date back to the 19th century.
Nor should you miss losing yourself in the Arab Baths, the largest and best-preserved in Europe. They are in the Villadompardo Palace and were built in the 11th century. What better way to cool down after a long day spent visiting the city?
The province of Jaén also offers unique places such as Baeza and Úbeda. If you’re a lover of nature, you can discover the Sierra de Cazorla and la Sierra de Mágina and the distinctive olive groves.
