It is one of the jewels of the Spanish Renaissance Gothic style. It was ordered by the Señor de Jabalquino, Juan Alfonso de Benavides Manrique, the king Fernando el Católico´ s first cousin once removed. Its façade is in Flamboyant style with Mudejar influences. It is framed by two cylindrical buttresses with mocarabes crowned by eaves similar to the ones of the windows.
There is a Baroque staircase covered by a semi- spherical vault. The beautiful Renaissance courtyard, with Baroque elements, has a double arcade with marble columns and coats of arms.
The door to the courtyard forms an ogee arch with two trunks that are climbed up by fourteen small human figures. In the second body, there are four windows twin to the central ones, also between pinnacles and mullioned windows with thin columns. On top, eight coats of arms “a la valona” (inclined) with helmets, crests and lambrequines (a short of ornamental drapery for the top of a window or door or the edge of a shelf). There are decorative elements such as diamonds points, foliages, flowers, knots, pinnacles, heraldry and mocarabes.

Baeza is the city of which Antonio Machado wrote ‘Campo de Baeza, I'll dream of you when I don't see you’. With this guided tour you will understand why the illustrious poet expressed his longing for Baeza, a city declared a World Heritage Site together with Úbeda, thanks to its great monumental and historical heritage of its splendid Andalusian Renaissance.
Cobbled streets, a Cathedral of Romanesque origin and later transformed into Renaissance, palaces with beautiful ‘altarpiece-doors’ in honour of the nobles who lived there. It will seem as if you are walking through a Castilian city but in the middle of the olive groves of Jaén. You will also be able to taste the local olive grove's ‘green gold’. A perfect visit to get to know the culture and tradition of Baeza to the full.
