The castle dates from the thirteenth century and features an irregular quadrangular plan, 80m long and 50m wide, with angles reinforced by square and circular towers more than 11m high and 5mwide. Under the domain of the Order of Calatrava, improvements were made to the castle, consisting of the construction of a fortified moat, presenting a double walled circuit in the middle of the fifteenth century.

The San Sebastián bridge dates from the sixteenth century. It is contiguous on one side with the former Puerta de Martos and on the other with the pillar of the same name that rises over the bed of the salty stream. It responds to a Renaissance trace, made in stonework and with beautiful proportions. It is composed of a single semicircular eye framed by strong stirrups.

This building was originally commissioned as the Town Hall, to serve one of the most important nuclei of the Order of Calatrava.Its construction was sponsored by the Mayor,Don Andrés de Guevara Calatayud, began in the early seventeenth century and ended in 1642. The building is of great significance to the community, both a symbol of the splendor of Tosyrian history and a statement about architecture’s crucial civic and economic role. In 2007, it was declared anAsset of Cultural Interest.

This fountain is of medieval origin and was renovated in the eighteenth century. The façade is organized by means of four Doric-Tuscan pilasters, between which there are blind semicircular arches, topped by an entablature and decorated triangular pediment studs, on whose tympanum the Torredonjimeno shield appears in half relief and cartouches on each side, with legends alluding to its construction in 1721.

This church was built in the sixteenth century, taking advantage of the materials of the urban wall of the city. It was reformed in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and has a Gothic architectural style. The original altarpiece dated from 1537 butwas largely destroyed in 1936;only the crown and curtains survived, and they have been perfectly integrated into the current altarpiece’s design, the work ofAmadeo Ruiz Olmos.

This church is a partly medieval construction, a style still visible in some areas such as the sacristy and the main altar, however, most of the current configuration was builtin the sixteenth century, with works by Don Francisco del Castillo “El Viejo” and his son, Don Francisco del Castillo “El Mozo”.

This hill is in the Jabalcuz massif, which is part of the Sierra de La Grana. In the western and southern areas, there is a stretch of cyclopean wall, possibly from the first century AD. The wall measures about 6m in height and 20m in length. In the 1960s,remains of a Roman house were discovered in the surrounding lands.

The castle is situated next to the old crossroads of Jaén, Arjona, Iliturgi and Martos. Its position is one of great strategic value, as suggested by the settlement of Cerro San Antón. The castle rises on a rocky ledge and is organised in two sections, the upper of which is crowned with two circular towers and one with a square plan.

After the conquest of Torredelcampo at the hands of Fernando III “El Santo”, castles in the area such asCastillo del Berrueco were reformed and expanded and new watchtowers were built, among them the Torre de la Muña. It is located at 379m above sea level, between the junction of the Torrelampérezstreamsto the west and Las Correderas to the east.

This ruined watchtower is located on a rocky promontory of the same name, 479m above sea level. It would once have controlled the road from Jaén to Arjona, being delimited to the east and north by the Cortijo de Piedra Partida stream.

Built in 1723 and rebuilt in 1940, the church has a single box nave. Externally, it demonstrates clear volumetric geometry that emphasizes the quadrangular structure and the central axis. Its stone rigging is cared for and the ensemble shows severe packaging.

In the vicinity of the Iglesia Parroquial Virgen de la Estrella is what was formerly the Town Hall, later the Agrarian Chamber and currently the San Isidro Retirement Home. It consists of a ground floor and two upper sections, with lintelled openings, those of the floor’s upper balconies, arranged on the axis and between attached pillars. The set is completed by a bell tower.

A landmark from the eighteenth century, this building was first used as a prison and later a grain store and a Health Centre. Currently, it is the Headquarters of an Adult School.

This church is a Renaissance jewel; its tower and Casa-Palacio form the city’s most emblematic set of buildings, with strong influences from Vandelvira, Francisco del Castillo “El Viejo” and Alonso Barba. Despite undergoing extensive detrimental renovations over time, it retains the stamp of the late sixteenth century.

The Active Museum of Olive Oil and Sustainability is configured as a modern exhibition space, made up of buildings and uncovered areas designed to educate visitors on the cultivation of olive trees, the technology of olive oil production, the olive oil economy, and scientific-technical and cultural manifestation linked to olive oil and closely related to the sustainable development of production systems.

On July 14, 1990, the new chapel of Santa María Magdalena was inaugurated and blessed, on the site of the sixteenth-century hermitage it replaced. The exterior shows a simple door finished in a semicircular arch, between two narrow and high lateral openings like arrow slits.

The Arabs built a fortress, fundamental to the defense of the surrounding territories, around which the population nucleus emerged. In 1225, Fernando III conquered the Castle of Mengíbar, destroying it, however another was built, which in the seventeenth century was still standing, evidenced by its description by Martín Ximena Jurado.

The Courthouse of the Holy Inquisition dates back to the seventeenth century and was inhabited by Juan Rubio Galera in 1762, a relative of the Holy Office of Córdoba.

Parts of this building have been associated with the Islamic phase of the original Palace, from 800 to 1225, according to studies of archaeological surveys and analysis of its walls.

This is the only eighteenth-century chapel that has been preserved in Mengíbar, and it was reformed in 1970. The exterior is composed of an exposed stone facade, with a simple portal in which there is a circular window, and is crowned by a simple bell gable.
