Baza

The municipality stretches across the lower slopes of Sierra de Baza Mountain Range, featuring both arid plains and fertile valleys at 844 meters elevation.

The settlement evolved from an Iberian foundation in the 4th century BC through Roman, Visigoth, and Moorish periods until its capture by Queen Isabella I in 1489.

The Municipal Museum displays archaeological findings from multiple eras, including the renowned Lady of Baza statue dating from 400 BC.

The city maintains numerous walking paths through its historic center, connecting major landmarks such as the Alcazaba fortress and the Santiago Church.

The mountain surroundings contain cave dwellings that residents have inhabited for centuries, now serving as examples of traditional regional architecture.
