• Casa del Capitán Medina, 15th century

    March 16 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

    Today was moving day. For the next week we’ve rented this house in Úbeda.

    The Casa del Capitán Medina, dating to the late 15th century, was originally the home of the Medina family, notable for their military and noble lineage. Its design blends Gothic-Mudéjar elements—such as an octagonal-columned courtyard and intricately carved wooden corbels—with later Renaissance additions, including a grand staircase adorned with plasterwork and frescoes of exotic animals and heraldic motifs.

    The house passed through generations of military officers and aristocrats, including the Marqués de Casa Madrid, and retains its original character, offering a tangible link to Úbeda’s noble past.

    The house is located in Úbeda’s Plaza de San Lorenzo, a historic square that encapsulates the city’s golden age. The buildings around this square are a living center for artistic innovation, reinforcing Úbeda’s status as a UNESCO World Heritage site and a beacon of Andalusian cultural heritage.

    €109.00 a night for three bedroom fully furnished house (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️), shared with a friend.
