This sculpture recalls the battles of Navas de Tolosa (1212: begginig of the Reconquest in Andalusia) and Bail?n (1808: independence war against the French occupation). Both events were crucial for the Spanish history. It's placed in the modern area.

RonnieShephard Tue Feb 20, 2007 14:32 UTC Hola, Just read your comments, which were excellent. I have bought a house in Martos, 24km from Jaen and we are renovating it. I will be staying in Martos and your comments on Jaen were of value to me. Ronnie
