We will begin our tour at the fountain in Plaza Mayor, right in front of the Cathedral.

From there, we will head to Plaza del Obispo Valero, where we will find the statue of the city's conqueror, Alfonso VIII, and the Episcopal Palace, before continuing to the city's most iconic area: the Casas Colgadas and the Puente de San Pablo, with the Parador Nacional de Turismo, the former Dominican Convent, and the Padres Paúles in the background of this wonderful scene.

From there, we will continue to the San Martín and Santa Catalina skyscrapers, the first buildings in Spain to be considered skyscrapers. Construction of these houses began in the late 15th century, and… they have up to 12 stories! Construction of these skyscrapers began in the late 15th century, and they hold the distinction of being the first skyscrapers in Spain, as well as the tallest houses in Europe until the 19th century.

We will walk up Calle de Santa Catalina, taking in every detail of the Tiradores neighborhood, an old medieval quarter crowned by the fantastic MUPA (Paleontological Museum), before reaching the other side of the skyscrapers, where everything seems normal, on Calle Alfonso VIII.

We will then head to Plaza Mangana, where the majestic tower of the same name stands. This tower was once the site of catapults (known as “managanelos”), and later, the city clock (magana, meaning “clock” in Arabic) was installed in the same tower. This area is one of the most iconic, intriguing, and little-known parts of the city, as it was the site of the former Muslim fortress and later the Jewish quarter.
From there, we will see more “hanging houses” overlooking the meander of the Júcar River in the San Juan neighborhood, as well as in the San Antón neighborhood, an old part of the city.

We will return to Plaza Mayor to visit the Cathedral, the first Gothic-style cathedral in Spain and the city's true landmark. And here we will conclude our tour.
