Discover the History and Heritage of Jaén


Embark on a full-day journey through one of Jaén’s most captivating regions, where history, culture, and stunning landscapes come together. The adventure begins in Linares, the province's second-largest city, with a visit to the remarkable archaeological site of Cástulo. Occupied for more than 4,000 years, this ancient settlement was once one of the Iberian Peninsula's most important political and economic centers, offering a fascinating glimpse into the civilizations that shaped the region.


Explore the impressive remains of Cástulo, including the ancient synagogue, the Temple of Domitian, the celebrated Mosaic of the Loves, the Roman baths, and the early Christian church. On Saturdays, an official guide brings the site's rich history to life, while on other days visitors can enjoy a self-guided exploration at their own pace, discovering the remarkable archaeological treasures preserved throughout the complex.


The journey continues to Baños de la Encina, one of the Most Beautiful Villages of Spain, nestled among the rolling olive groves of the Sierra Morena mountains. This charming village is home to the magnificent Burgalimar Castle, a fortress dating to the Caliphate period and recognized as one of the oldest and best-preserved castles in Europe. A guided visit reveals its fascinating history and exceptional architecture.


After exploring the castle, enjoy free time to wander through the village's picturesque streets, sample traditional local cuisine, or simply soak in the peaceful atmosphere of its historic center. Combining archaeology, medieval heritage, breathtaking scenery, and authentic Andalusian charm, this full-day excursion offers an enriching experience through one of Jaén's most remarkable cultural destinations.
