Castillo and Torre del Homenaje
The imposing Torre del Homenaje is part of the Castillo de Jimena, which was built by the Arabs as a defensive fortress in the tenth century. After it was conquered by Fernando III in 1234, the castle became part of the city of Baeza and later passed into the hands of the Nasrids. In 1457, the castle was handed over to the Order of Calatrava, who reformed its defenses and adapted it into a manor house, eventually becoming the property of the Marquises of Camarasa. The tower itself was Declared an Asset of Cultural Interest in 1985: the painted frescoes inside have largely deteriorated, and only parts of a naval scene are still visible today. Located in Plaza de la Constitución.
