Ayuntamiento Antiguo

  • Address: Pl. Primero de Mayo, off C. María de Molina, Úbeda, 23400 | Map It

Fodor's Review:

The Ayuntamiento Antiguo (Old Town Hall), begun in the early 16th century but restored as a beautiful arcaded baroque palace in 1680, is now a conservatory of music. From the hall's upper balcony, the town council watched celebrations and autos-da-fé ("acts of faith"—executions of heretics sentenced by the Inquisition) in the square below. You can't enter the town hall, but on the north side you can visit the 13th-century church of San Pablo, with an Isabelline south portal.
