The province of Jaen, located in the autonomous community of Andalusia in southern Spain, is a region steeped in history and culture. The 17th and 18th centuries marked a significant period in the architectural development of Jaen, with the expansion of the Renaissance imposing a certain conservatism upon its architecture. This period saw the influence of the classical tradition more than in other areas of Andalusia. The Cathedral of Jaén, with its remarkable façade by E. López de Rojas, is a testament to this period. The choir and the church of El Sagrario, designed by Ventura Rodríguez, are other notable examples of the Baroque style in Jaen.
Baeza, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of the best representatives of Spanish Renaissance. The Church of San Ignacio stands out in Baeza.
In Linares, the Church of Santa Maria La Mayor, originally built in Gothic style, is a notable example of Baroque architecture. Its Baroque elements include the façade and certain interior features, making it a significant site of interest in Linares.
In Bailen, the Hermitage of Zocueca and Cristo del Llano at Baños de la Encina are two examples of Baroque interior decoration.
La Carolina, the capital of the New Settlements, has a church and Palacio del Intendente worthy of note.
