The Church of San Pablo was built in the 13th century on the site of a former mosque. This church is one of the oldest in the city and impresses with its blend of styles: a Romanesque portal, known as the Carpenters' Gate, a Renaissance-style side facade, and a late Gothic interior. The church is located in Plaza Primero de Mayo, also known as Paseo del Mercado (Market Square), as for centuries public markets were held here, as well as political events such as city council elections, religious services, and theatrical performances. Around the square, you can see the old Town Hall, the monument to Saint John of the Cross in the center, and at number 20, the house where Joaquín Sabina was born.

What a spectacular structure we see today, it has survived the passage of time and the attacks of its inhabitants, not without a few historical vicissitudes. Most likely of Muslim origin, its history begins in the 13th century, until the withdrawal of the French in 1812 left the fortress almost destroyed. Due to numerous reconstructions, it can be visited today, although, understandably, only a small part of what it was in its day of greatest splendor remains.

This clock tower built between the 13th-16th centuries. It is next to the old butcher shops and the Arab wall. Of Spanish-Muslim and Renaissance architectural style, it was originally a tower belonging to the old medieval wall, although it is currently used as a tourist resource and you can visit the bell tower from which there are wonderful views of part of the city.

Curiously, this building is not a church and has never belonged to the church, but rather it is a huge pantheon belonging to the Cobos family. If we take into account that Francisco de los Cobos was secretary of state of Emperor Charles I of Spain, he was also a patron and knight of the Great Order of Santiago, we can get an idea of the important power that this family had. In 1522 and when he was 45 years old, he married Doña María de Mendoza y Sarmiento, who was 14 years old, to guarantee offspring, since she had the title of countess.
