Renaissance Monumental Ensembles of รbeda and Baeza
The urban morphology of the two small cities of รbeda and
Baeza in southern Spain dates back to the Moorish 9th century and to
the Reconquista in the 13th century. An important development took place
in the 16th century, when the cities were subject to renovation along
the lines of the emerging Renaissance. This planning intervention was
part of the introduction into Spain of new humanistic ideas from Italy,
which went on to have a great influence on the architecture of Latin
America.
