Úbeda, Renaissance city in Andalusia, Spain

The Plaza Vázquez de Molina forms the central square of Úbeda, containing multiple palaces and religious buildings constructed between 1530 and 1580.

The city evolved from an ancient settlement dating back six millennia, making it one of the oldest continuously inhabited locations in Western Europe.

The Renaissance architectural ensemble of Úbeda earned UNESCO World Heritage status for introducing Italian design principles to Spanish urban planning.

Visitors can reach Úbeda through Federico García Lorca Granada Airport or by train connections from the Linares-Baeza railway station.

The Synagogue del Agua, discovered in 2007, features a ritual bath and receives specific sunlight patterns during summer solstice celebrations.
