Morales House

Here used to live the Morales nobility of the 16th century and in this days is on renovations.

It is also called the house of the hanged, it seems to be a history of a king that hanged a man that was founded with the wife of one of his best friends.....

Museo Andalusi

Near Santa Domingo church is the Museo Andalusi.. One of the reasons we did not enter, apart of lack of time, is because we were not very impressed with the Cordoba´s museum Andalusi.

The price is 1.5 Euros

Palace of the Rambla

The Palace of the rambla from the Marquis de Ramblas constructed in the 16th century, a hotel in this days. I must check prices here, as I read that the accommodation here deserves as they had maintained the style in the rooms.

And now we go direct to the Tourist Office to get a map of the city and information about the area.

Tower Clock and Old Abbatoir

At the Plaza de Andalucia we can see the Tower clock and the royal butchery or Old abbatoir.

The tower Clock is a clock and a bell at the same time and it was constructed at the 13th century

Teh Old abbatoir is much modern from the 19th century

We will go down Calle Rastro till we find The Palace of the rambla a hotel in this days.

Andalucia Square

The Andalucia square gets united the old and the new part. We had left behind the shopping street of Cobos and Mesones and we get ready to walk along the little streets and find in every corner an incredible building.

Not all of them are well conserved, but many of them had been renovated and are hotels or town hall departments.

Hospital de Santiago patio

if the tower roof surprised me, I was ready to enjoy a beautiful claustro inside (patios), there are a few more little ones, but this is the bigger one

Even if originally was a hospital in this days is a cultural center and a library

Hospital de Santiago

This hospital was constructed by Andres Valdemira. What first call my eye was the tower roof in blue tiles.

While walking along the city you may be lots of lions adorning facades. The reason is that during the Tarifa battle the soldiers of Ubeda were recognised for its courage as the Lions of Ubeda.
