Carcabuey

Carcabuey is a small olive-growing village in the province of Córdoba, located in the Subbéticas mountain range. Its municipality lies in the heart of the Sierra de la Subbética Natural Park, contributing to its stunning landscapes. Its origins date back to Roman times, which explains its rich heritage. Here are some of the best things to do in Carcabuey:

Visit the Castle in Carcabuey

The Carcabuey Castle, also known as the Fuente Úbeda Castle, houses the chapel of the Virgen del Castillo. Built on a Roman site, its earliest records date back to the 9th century when it was destroyed by the troops of Emir Abd Allah. It is strategically located to control the communication routes of the area, serving as a communication point for five Andalusian provinces.

See its various churches and chapels

In Carcabuey, several churches and chapels are notable in the area. The Iglesia de la Asunción, located in a prominent and visible area, is a distinctive feature of the town. The Iglesia de San Marcos is a small chapel with a single nave, primarily recognized for its exterior stone tower. Visitors can also see the Ermita de Santa Ana, a quaint construction dating back to 1583, dedicated to Santa Ana, the co-patroness of the village alongside the Virgen del Castillo.

Walking around

While taking a stroll, we highlight some elements of the area, such as the Fuente del Pilar, located in a small square and built in the 18th century. Also known as Fuente de los Caños, it gives its name to Calle del Pilar. The Puente de Piedra, situated over the Palancar River, is the only construction from the caliphal period that has been preserved in the southern part of the province of Córdoba. The Monte del Calvario offers a viewpoint from which we can admire Carcabuey and the Sierras Subbéticas. The Aljibe, located to the west of the castle, was most likely used for supplying water to the nearby population
