Within this medieval church, we will observe the transformation of artistic styles, spanning from Gothic to Renaissance. At the lookout point of the ancient city walls, sweeping views of the Guadalquivir Valley and the majestic Cazorla and Mágina mountain ranges will further enhance our experience.
