Baza
The millenary town of Baza, the primitive Iberian and Roman Basti
callled Batza by the Muslims, has a rich monumental heritage left
by the different cultures who have inhabited it throughout history.
It is a town with interesting remains which can be visited in the
Archaeological Museum. The monumental Colegiata Concatedral de la
Encarnación is of
major importance as well, and the town features some oldest Arab baths
in Spain. Between Baza and Castril, the visitor will find a lunar
landscape scattered with dave dwellings such as those in Benamaurel,
where the blue waters of the dam of Negratín contrast with
the ochre tones of the earth. Castril has white houses perched on
a massive rock woth the remains of the Islamic castle at the top.
It is the gate to the Parque Natural de la Sierra de Castril, which
boasts the Cueva de Don Fernando, the longest and deepest cave in
the province of Granada.
