Alcalá la Real

Highlight • Settlement

Alcalá la Real is a spectacular town in Jaen that is located on a strategic natural communication route between the Guadalquivir valley and the Granada plain. This location has given it great importance over the centuries. On the hill of La Mota stands a fortress of the same name that is a collection of civilizations, especially from the Muslim period, although the Romans previously settled here, and later Gothic and Renaissance style buildings were added.

Fuente de la Mora

Highlight • Monument

Fountain located in the homonymous square in Alcalá la Real, Jaén.
The legend of the Moorish is a legend from Jaén that tells how a young woman of incomparable beauty finds herself in need of going down to a Christian spring for water for her sick mother. In the middle of the way, she was surprised by a captain, the young Moor explained that she needed to fill the pitcher with water. The captain – who fell in love with her – told her that to fulfill her wish she had to remove her veil to contemplate her beauty.

The old town of Alcalá la Real has been declared a historical monument. The highlight of the city is
the imposing La Mota fortress. It towers over the collection of houses of Arabic origin in Alcalá la Real. For more than 150 years, the castle marked the border between the Moorish kingdom of Granada and Castile.
