Places to see in ( Jaen - Spain )
Jaén is a city in south-central Spain. The name is derived, with all probability, from the Roman name villa Gaena, which the Arabs called Yayyan. Jaén is the capital of the province of Jaén. It is located in the autonomous community of Andalusia.
Jaen is also known as the World Capital of Olive Oil, because it is the biggest producer of the oil, known by locals as liquid gold. The layout of Jaén is determined by its position in the hills of the Santa Catalina mountains, with steep, narrow streets, in the historical central city district. The city of Jaén is the administrative and industrial centre for the province. Industrial establishments in the city include chemical works, tanneries, distilleries, cookie factories, textile factories, as well as agricultural and olive oil processing machinery industry.
Saint Catherine's Castle (Castillo de Santa Catalina) sits on the top of a hill overlooking the city. Previously there had existed a fortress of Arabic origin (Abrehui's castle), of which some remains still exist. The current construction is of Christian origin, raised after the conquest of the city by Ferdinand III of Castile, called the Saint, in 1246.
Jaén Cathedral is one of the most important Renaissance-style cathedrals. Construction began in 1570 and was completed in 1802. It is dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin, and it was built to shelter the relic of the Holy Face, or Veil of Veronica, lodged at the major chapel and exposed to the public every Friday. Due to the length of time in its construction, different artistic styles can be appreciated, the most prominent being Renaissance; Andrés de Vandelvira the most important architect. He is the greatest exponent of the Andalusian Renaissance. It aspires to be listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
Arab Baths, the most significant remnants of the Moorish era of Andalusia, are the largest Arab baths preserved in Spain. They can be visited under Villardompardo's Palace (another important monument in the city). Other important monuments are the Museum of Arts and Popular Customs, the International Museum of Naïf Art, San Andrés's Chapel, the Provincial Museum of Jaén (which shelters an important collection of archaeological Iberian remains), Saint Ildefonso's church, etc.

SUMMARY
=======
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Sites are places of importance to cultural or natural heritage as described in the UNESCO World Heritage Convention, established in 1972. Spain accepted the convention on May 4, 1982, making its historical sites eligible for inclusion on the list.Sites in Spain were first inscribed on the list at the 8th Session of the World Heritage Committee, held in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1984. At that session, five sites were added: the Mosque of Córdoba; The Alhambra and the Generalife, Granada; Burgos Cathedral; Monastery and Site of the Escorial, Madrid; and Park Güell, Palau Güell and Casa Milà, in Barcelona. Five sites were added in 1985, and another four in 1986. Apart from 1984, 1985, and 1986 (Spain's first three years as a member), 2000 saw the most new sites inscribed, with five that year. As of July 2018, Spain has 47 total sites inscribed on the list, third only to China (53) and Italy (54). Of these 47 sites, 41 are cultural, 4 are natural, and 2 are mixed (meeting both cultural and natural criteria), as determined by the organization's selection criteria.The Pirineos – Monte Perdido World Heritage Site is shared with France, while the Prehistoric Rock-Art Sites in the Côa Valley and Siega Verde site is shared with Portugal. Besides that, Almadén is inscribed alongside Idrija in Slovenia. Of the 17 autonomous communities of Spain, Castile and León has the most sites, with six exclusive and three shared sites.Additionally, Spain has established an agreement with UNESCO known as the Spanish Funds-in-Trust.

Trip of the Archaeological Association of the Algarve to the Jaen area. Here we visited the Olive museum near Baeza.
Roman Necropolis, Carmona, Andalusia, Spain, Europe
The Necropolis of Carmona was discovered between 1868 and 1869 by accident when they were going to make a construction of a road. At first he suffered excavations without control by antiquarians and collectors, until in 1881 the historian Juan Fernandez Lopez, along with the English archaeologist Jorge Bonsor, confirms that there is a necropolis was, since studies to parts found matching funeral rituals that were made in the Roman emperor Claudius. Both, along with Luis Reyes Calabazo, buy the land from Campo de las Canteras and the Field of Olives, organized a scientific excavations, and create the Archaeological Society of Carmona. The Museum of the Necropolis, the first site museum of Spain, was opened in 1887. The site is dated around the first century BC to the second century of our era. It is thought by the time it was dated the form of burial was incineration. We can see that there excavations in the soil, and its red walls, is where cremations took place. We note that the bottom of these excavations were two levels, as the deepest and smallest level is where the ashes are then collected for them in small boxes were concentrated. The polls that we see are of different materials, it is thought that depending on the purchasing power of households, would be of a material or another, also depending on the situation of the family, the polls were more decorative than others. We also found inscriptions who owned these graves. The graves we find there are different ways, the character common to them is that they are excavations, for his religious beliefs, it's a way to get closer to the world of the dead. Access to the tombs of species of wells, depending on the graves had stairs, made or put them to access was made, as in some of these tombs built note that there are stairs, but simply observe the hole where they agreed to tomb. What we see inside them is that it is a small room, one or two square meters, where the wall were excavated small niches where the urns were placed and underneath a kind of bench or table where funeral offerings would be placed. It is thought, by the remains found that the graves were closed, in some cases for doors, as shown as slots of the existence of these doors, or simply closed with large stones. With the dead were buried material things that belonged to him in life. Also found in some statues graves are supposed to be the image of the deceased, as funerary faces, that they were the dead pouring wax or something similar in the face and after a while, performing the head were found, I was going preceding the funeral took him to court when incinerated. The tombs generally belonged to a family, but note that some may have been two, they emerge as a wall that divides it in two. The most prominent are the Tomb of Servilia, the Tomb of the Elephant and the Tomb Circular. Names that have been put to him by the way, so found them or because it is the family that was there.
Palau de la Música Catalana and Hospital de Sant Pau, ... (UNESCO/NHK)
These are two of the finest contributions to Barcelona's architecture by the Catalan art nouveau architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner. The Palau de la Música Catalana is an exuberant steel-framed structure full of light and space, and decorated by many of the leading designers of the day. The Hospital de Sant Pau is equally bold in its design and decoration, while at the same time perfectly adapted to the needs of the sick.

Tarragona in Spain, Amphithéâtre, World Heritage Site by UNESCO, tourism, hotels, carnival

Tarragona in Spain, Amphithéâtre, World Heritage Site by UNESCO, tourism, hotels, carnival
Geographically, it is bordered on the north by the Province of Barcelona and the Province of Lleida. The city has a population of 132,199 (2014).
Ancient remains[edit]
Amphithéâtre of Tarragona and the Mediterranean Sea
The Roman ruins of Tarraco have been designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
Part of the bases of large Cyclopean walls near the Cuartel de Pilatos are thought to pre-date the Romans. The building just mentioned, a prison in the 19th century, is said to have been the palace of Augustus. The second century Tarragona Amphitheatre near the seashore was extensively used as a quarry after the fall of the Western Roman Empire, and but few vestiges of it now remain. A circus c. 450 metres (1,480 ft) long, was built over in the area now called Plaça de la Font, though portions of it are still to be traced. Throughout the town Latin, and even apparently Phoenician, inscriptions on the stones of the houses mark the material used for buildings in the town.
Two ancient monuments, at some little distance from the town, have, however, fared rather better. The first of these is Les Ferreres Aqueduct, which spans a valley about 4 kilometres (2 miles) north of the city. It is 217 m (712 ft) in length, and the loftiest arches, of which there are two tiers, are 26 m (85 ft) high. There is a monument about 6 km (4 mi) along the coast road east of the city, commonly called the Tower of the Scipios; but there is no authority for assuming that they were buried here.[17]
Other Roman buildings include:
The Roman walls
The capitol, or citadel
The Amphitheatre
The Roman circus
The Pretorium - Tower
The Provincial and Colonial fora
The Necropolis
The palace of Augustus, called the house of Pilate
The so-called tower, or sepulchre, of the Scipios
Arch of Sura, or of Bara
The Aurelian Way.
The city is also home to the National Archaeological Museum of Tarragona.
Religious buildings[edit]
The Tarragona Cathedral, dating to the 12th-13th centuries, combining Romanesque and Gothic architectural elements.
The convent of the Poor Clares, near the walls
The convent of Santa Teresa
The church of the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin, the parish church of the port
The former convent of Sant Francesc
The Jesuit college was turned into barracks; their church, however, has been restored to them
The convent of the Dominican Order, now the town hall
The archiepiscopal palace, situated on the site of the ancient capitol, one tower of which still remains. It was rebuilt in the 19th century.
Near the sea, in the Roman amphitheatre, are the remains of a church called Santa Maria del Miracle (Holy Mary of the Miracle), which belonged to the Knights Templar. It was afterwards used by the Trinitarian Order and was later converted into a penitentiary. It was demolished around 1915.[18]
Tarragona Cathedral.
The seminary of Sant Pau and Santa Tecla was founded in 1570 by the cardinal archbishop, Gaspar Cervantes de Gaeta, and was the first to comply with the decrees of the Council of Trent. In 1858 Archbishop José Domingo Costa y Borrás built a fourth wing. Benito Villamitjana built a new seminary behind the cathedral in 1886, in the courtyard of which stands the old chapel of Sant Pau. Pope Leo XIII raised this to the rank of a pontifical university.
50 km (31.07 mi) north of the city is Poblet Monastery, founded in 1151 by Ramon Berenguer IV, Count of Barcelona, which was used for sepultures of the kings.

La mesa cristiana en la Edad Media: ceremonia y dieta en la corte de Castilla durante el siglo XV
13/03/2019- Prof. Dr. Francisco de Paula Cañas Gálvez (Depto. de Historia de América y Medieval y Ciencias Historiográficas. Facultad de Geografía e Historia, Universidad Complutense de Madrid)
La crisis derivada de la caída del imperio romano se apoderó de Europa durante toda la Edad Media. Sin embargo, en la nobleza y en la corte no faltó la comida incluso hasta el exceso con unos hábitos sociales y costumbres dietéticas que hoy, sin duda, nos sorprenderían pero que son un fiel reflejo de la época y de su cultura.
