Centro Histórico de Baeza, UNESCO World Heritage historic district in Baeza, Spain.
The Centro Histórico is an old town center in Baeza featuring a blend of Renaissance buildings, Gothic structures, and narrow stone streets. The area spreads across several ancient squares showing how the town was shaped over different periods.
The town center grew during the Middle Ages and Renaissance when Baeza was an important city. This period left most of the buildings and street layouts that visitors see today.
The streets and squares display architectural styles that visitors can discover while walking through them. Local life unfolds around these buildings, which continue to shape how people use and experience the town today.
Wear comfortable shoes since the streets are narrow and paved with stone. A walking tour through the area takes roughly one to two hours and allows visitors to see all the main buildings and squares.
At the heart of the district stands one of Spain's oldest universities, founded in the 16th century. The university buildings remain standing and show how academic institutions looked during that era.
