The Town

Discover Alcalá la Real

Alcalá la Real is one of the most monumental cities in the province of Jaén and a key stop on the Mozarabic Route. Its profile is dominated by the impressive Fortaleza de la Mota, an Arab city-fortress that was a strategic point on the border between Christian and Nasrid kingdoms. Visiting its walled precinct, the abbot's church, and the old urban layout is a lesson in history. The city, at the foot of the fortress, offers pilgrims a complete range of services and a lively atmosphere. Its Renaissance heritage, with the Abacial Palace and numerous churches, completes a top-level cultural offer. It is an indispensable stop to recharge forces and immerse oneself in the history of Al-Ándalus's fortresses and battles.
