Baeza - Plaza de los Leones
Baeza's little Plaza de los Leones at the west end of the Paseo de la Constitución owes its name to the fountain in the center of the square, which incorporates four figures of lions from the Roman site of Cástulo and an Ibero-Roman female figure traditionally identified as Hannibal's wife Imilce.

Antigua Carnicería
Around the Plaza de los Leones are several handsome buildings: the 16th Century Antigua Carnicería (butcher's shop), which in spite of its humble function has a gallery and a magnificent coat-of- arms of Charles V; the Casa del Pópulo, with an extraordinary Plateresque facade; the Puerta de Jaén; and the Arco de Villalar, a triumphal arch erected in 1521 to commemorate the repression of the Comunero rising.
