  • This modern provincial capital is set off by the dramatically placed ramparts of the mighty Castillo de Santa Catalina (see Castillo de Santa Catalina, Jaén City), originally Moorish, and the immensity of its double-towered cathedral by Vandelvira (see Capilla Real and Catedral, Granada). You can fully experience the castle and its spectacular views of the city and surrounding olive groves, as it now houses a parador (see Paradors). Another rewarding stop is the Museo Provincial, especially to see the country’s finest collection of 5th-century BC Iberian sculpture.
