Parroquia de San Andrés

In the XVI and XVII centuries, this building was ordered to be constructed by the bishop Alonso Suárez de la Fuente del Sauce. It had the title of Collegiate Church from 1764 to 1852 and, at the moment, it is one of the most important parishes of the city of Baeza.

Without a doubt, as you could confirm, its façade stands out, with Plateresque style, as the same as its square tower with decoration based on flameros -a kind of pinnacles- and gargoyles, which are placed at the top of the corners. We enter into the church through a splayed semi-circular arch which is supported by adjacent columns.  On top of it, you will find a niche with the figure of Saint Andrew. In both sides, the builder bishop coats of arms are drawn.

You will be surprised by the inside because it is a big main nave formed by pointed arches and lateral chapels. You should know that the altar was designed by Vandelvira.  The altarpiece is also curious, decorated with sculptures and the little chapel, where the Gothic sculpture of the Virgin of the Alcázar is placed.
