Historie
Baeza was an important frontier town in the Reconquista, taken by Ferdinand III of Castile in 1227. It flourished in the 16th century, when the university was founded. The Renaissance buildings were designed with the influence of Andrés de Vandelvira.
Antonio Machado lived in Baeza as a French teacher in the early 20th century. In 2003 the town was inscribed with Úbeda on the UNESCO list.
