Overview
The city OF Jaén is dominated by an Arab fortress that stands on Santa Catalina hill. From the top of the forest you have a great view of the city and the Guadalquivir valley. The Castle of Santa Catalina is currently a hotel, the Parador de Turismo - a great if somewhat expensive place to spend the night. If you don't sleep here, just come up and have a tea.
The old city is located around the churches of La Magdalena, San Juan and San Ildefonso, the core of this historic quarter is Santa Iglesia Cathedral, dating back to the 16th century.
