Castle of Canena
Between the charming villages of Úbeda and Baeza lies this magnificent Renaissance monument, complete with its own historic olive oil production, which dates back to 1780.This fortress was originally built by the Arabs in the ruins of a Roman settlement. It is said that the king of the Taifa of Toledo took refuge in this castle upon the fall of the city. In 1538, it was transformed by the prestigious architect Vandelvira into a Castle-Palace and later declared a National Monument in 1931. Today it has been lovingly restored and is admired as one of the most beautiful examples of the Andalusian Renaissance.
