Úbeda (Jaén) Spain - Plaza Vázquez de Molina, UNESCO World Heritage site inspiration

Fascinating Plaza Vázquez de Molina contains so many unique buildings that it was one of the major reasons for the entire town of Úbeda (Jaén), Spain being declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2003. We did an overnight stay in this wonderful town, located in the region of Spain known as Andalucia. The Plaza Vázquez de Molina was just one of many highlights we enjoyed while there. The plaza contains the following architectural beauties: Deán Ortega Palace (Palacio del Deán Ortega, a Renaissance palace from the 16th century; Vázquez de Molina Palace (Palacio de Vázquez de Molina), another building in the Renaissance style aka the Palace of the Chains (Palacio de las Cadenas). Both of these buildings were designed by the architect Andrés de Vandelvira. Also located in the plaza are Saint Mary of the Royal Alcázares [Royal Palace] (Iglesia de Santa María de los Reales Alcázares) and Holy Chapel of the Savior (Sacra Capilla del Salvador). As is our custom, I do all of the still photography, choose the music, edit everything and upload it to You Tube, while Ed does the great narrations as he films the camcorder videos.
