|  |  Although smaller than UBEDA, the quiet streets of BAEZA retain a Medieval feeling. On entering the town the Plaza del Populo is a museum in itself. From the balcony of a building that now houses the tourist office, the first Mass after the Moors were ousted was said, so tradition has it. |
 In the centre of the square is the fountain of LOS LEONES, the statue of the women above is said to be the wife of Hannibal. BAEZA has a rich array of religous monuments, the most important being the Gothic Cathedral which has a secret - hidden behind the painting of St Peter is a huge silver custodia which is revealed for a small donation. |
 The old Seminary currently the site of the International University of Andalusia. The Palace of Jabalquinto with its beautiful patio and staircase and close by is a building where the great Andalusian poet ANTONIO MACHADO taught French. A plaque outside a corner house on Plaza Cardenal Benavides records where he lived. |
