Beautiful place, Isabel our guide was great and went out of her comfort to support non Spanish speakers at the tour.

Fascinating place, you have to visit it as part of a tour (in Spanish) but there are guides in English

Wow!! A magical place, full of history. A must-see in Úbeda. I could have done the tour twice. The guide explained the history and told us the stories of this place in a really interesting way. Highly recommend!!

This is a fascinating place to visit. Previously hidden synagogue and small houses discovered during building works and restored as well as they could. The guides are very friendly and informative. We have been twice and the option of an English explanation has never been mentioned but obviously that doesn't mean they don't do it! We are fine with Spanish but it may not suit some foreign visitors. Well worth visiting.

Amazing space and story! Well worth it and affordable

Interesting guided visit for €5 of a fairly recently rediscovered medieval synagogue, or so it is believed. Developers of three adjacent buildings in 2006 found a basement with huge earthenware vases half sunk into the ground, all covered in sand and debris. Further excavations revealed a number of wells in adjacent cellars that were full of rubble, and a perfectly preserved large rectangular ceremonial bath down seven steps, all carved out of solid rock inside what must have been a prehistoric cave created by underground streams. Also a number of arches, columns and architectural features including a double prayer gallery as used by women in synagogues, above a central space that would have been used by men. Archaeologists concluded that during medieval and renaissance times this building had indeed been used as a clandestine synagogue during periods when the Jewish faith was persecuted in Spain.

Fascinating history of the serendipitous discovery of a synagogue and mikva in Úbeda, Spain

Stupid that it costs you more to order the tickets online than at the door. And no effort is done by the cassièrre / guide to speak anything else than Spanish. The French and English texts don't explain a lot, are quiet rubbish. The whole visit is done very speedy, you are not allowed to take your time to admire anything. Definitely, in those circumstances, not worth the money.

Most disappointed. We paid our entry fee. No audio guide. There was a spanish tour starting. We were obliged to join it. We were then told we could not proceed ahead of the tour, which was in spanish only, and taking 15-20 minutes per room. We left. We asked for our entry fee back. After consultation with the tour guide, this request was granted!!!! So we wasted 45 minutes and saw the 1st room only. What a ridiculous bunch of clowns!

Very unusual , unique well preserved . Historically very interesting of Jewish community. Good guided information .

Refused us entry because we were one minute late.Hugely disappointing! Must admit we do not have great admiration for those in charge. We are from the states and returning to this area would be an extremely remote possibility.

Great place! Beautiful architecture! Peace and quiet. Love it

Town was a bit disappointing not much atmosphere, old part was worth seeing

Beautiful little town with a quaint historic centre. Beautiful cathedral and medieval palaces. Old centre is a no traffic zone. A very pleasant visit. It is best to park the car outside along the circular way called Murallas, where the views are fantastic.

Must visit ... history, scenic surroundings and great food

Like a ghost town with sometimes a cattle of tourists behind a guide

Nice walking

Beautiful!

Definitely worth a visit.

I did absolutely zero research before visiting Úbeda, which meant this was an incredible surprise! It's impressive from the outside, but particularly beautiful on the inside. We had a good look round the building and also enjoyed some of the temporary exhibitions on show. Free entry and one of the few cultural activities open on a Sunday, I highly recommend it.

Lovely historical place in Ubeda.

Nice place to see and free to go in

A really lovely old building. The façade is certainly imposing, but when you step inside, it's cool and calm. Look out for the frescos when you go upstairs!! This building is large and has several uses for example; different rooms are transformed into art galleries during different weeks of the year ranging from modern contemporary to classical art. There is also a medium sized library which serves as the town library and is free for everyone to use- although, if you want to take a book out, you have to sign up for free. As well as this, there is a separate children's and young adults library which is stocked with books in Spanish and some in English!

Beautiful and inspiring, it really remembers me to the Escorial. It must be visit both in the morning and in the evening, although it's a pity that the exterior courtyard is closed and that there are a lot of part which can't have been fully restored.

Beautiful, unexpected find in Ubeda. Certainly worth the detour.

Very interesting. Beautiful building. Worth a visit

Level up

It was €4 each for an adult to enter and you get an audio guide as well.

The Basílica is worth the visit. The center Cristo has a unique shape. It made me wonder if it was made on purpose given the Half Moon shape. Look also for two "different" carving in the atrium....see attached pictures.

I like the nature there but Unfortunately all monements Their appearance has been changed from their old self

A lovely old church with bell tower to climb up a narrow spiral staircase which gives great views over the town. Also an extensive collection of belen (nativity scenes) from across the world. Worth €1 to go and look

Looks stunning at night!!!

Nicest Catedral I've ever seen in my life, really!!

Great place to visit with an interesting story.

Great little museum with interesting pieces ranging through different periods of history. Good explanations given on info boards in both Spanish and English. The museum is free for EU residents and only €1.50 for everyone else. The building is also on the typical beautiful style of Úbeda.

A very interesting look at the archaeological history of Úbeda. Highly recommended

1.5 euro to get in. The most interesting part is the horseshoe arches located in front which you don’t have to pay to see. Everything is in Spanish except a brochure

Very nice family museum in a beautiful house dedicated to the archeological finds of his owner

Very unique museum with archeological wealth and nice ambience

(Translated by Google) Interesting building. The museum as such is somewhat bland. I understand that it is free. (Original) Edificio interesante. El museo como tal es algo insulso. Entiendo que sea gratis.

(Translated by Google) Small but very interesting. It is inside a small restored Mudejar house. Pieces from various periods. Plus it's free. (Original) Pequeñito pero muy interesante. Está dentro de una pequeña casa mudejar restaurada. Piezas de varios periodos. Además es gratis.
