- Sacra Capilla del Salvador — One of Úbeda’s signature Renaissance gems by Andrés de Vandelvira: a compact, ornate chapel with a stunning façade and an intimate, sculptural interior. Seeing it in person gives you the scale and detail photos can’t capture.
- Plaza Vázquez de Molina — The city’s show-off square where several of Úbeda’s best buildings sit together; wandering here feels like walking through an open-air museum of 16th-century civic pride.
- Basilica de Santa María de los Reales Alcázares — A monumental church that mixes Gothic bones with Renaissance touches; the nave, altarpieces and the sense of continuous history make it worth lingering inside.

- Hospital de Santiago — A fine example of Renaissance civic architecture with a calm interior courtyard. The building’s atmosphere and regular cultural exhibitions make it more than just a photo stop.
- Palacio de las Cadenas (Ayuntamiento) — Recognizable from its chained façade detail, this palace now functions as the town hall and is a neat way to see how Renaissance palaces were repurposed for municipal life.
- Casa de las Torres — A compact fortress-like palace with twin towers — great for architecture nerds who like façades, mouldings and peeking into the layers of noble life in Renaissance Úbeda.
- Iglesia de San Pablo — Often quieter than the main basilica, San Pablo rewards the visitor with fine altarpieces, carved details and a more reflective experience away from the busiest spots.
- Museo Zabaleta — A small, friendly museum focused on local art and artists; perfect if you like seeing regional culture through paintings and modest, well-presented collections rather than huge national displays.
- Palacio del Deán Ortega — A lesser-crowded Renaissance palace with elegant courtyards and stonework; it’s one of those places where the craftsmanship in doorways and staircases tells the story.
- Walk the old town streets and viewpoints — Not a single building, but wandering Úbeda’s narrow lanes and finding small plazas or a hilltop viewpoint is one of the best ways to feel the city’s rhythm and spot hidden corners few guidebooks highlight.
