What to see in Cazorla
- Plaza de la Corredera. One of the places where local residents come together. Full of bars and terraces that are a great spot for kicking back after a day of sightseeing. This square is also home to the church of San José and the Town Hall.
- Castillo de la Yedra. An absolute must-see for all visitors to Cazorla. This Arab fortress dating back to the thirteenth century will transport you to another era. The Torre del Homenaje offers incredible views over the town. Tempting, right?
- The church of Santa María. Another must-see in Cazorla, unique on account of the fact that it was built on a river. The church is actually in ruins, but this makes it even more special, as it provides a particularly characteristic image of Cazorla.
- Plaza de Santa María. This square is home to the ruins of Santa Maria and the famous Fuente de la Cadena; it is also one of the most bustling places in the town on account of the bars and terraces it is home to.
- Casa de las Cadenas. Another historical monument that is well worth a visit in Cazorla. If you are a fan of art, then you will love this building! Constructed in the sixteenth century, it owes its name, which translates to House of Chains, to the chains that decorate its façade. Inside, visitors can admire an impressive stone staircase and an interesting art collection.
