Church and Former Hospital of San Juan de Dios

Highlight • Religious Site

Architectural complex from the 18th century declared an Asset of Cultural Interest in 2006. The hospital now houses a nursing home. The hospital was founded at the express wish of Saint John of God (also known as John of the Sick, a Portuguese saint, nurse, and the founder of the Hospitaller Order of Saint John of God) for the care of the poor affected by contagious diseases.

Church of San Mateo, Lucena

Highlight • Religious Site

The second most populated and important city in Córdoba, it was known as the city of the three cultures as it was a center of coexistence for Christians, Jews and Arabs. Lucena's crafts are led by two pieces: the candle and the perula. They say that Miguel de Cervantes wrote Don Quixote by the light of a lucentine candle. The Perula is a green glazed clay vessel of Muslim origin.
