La Magdalena Church and neighbourhood
The city's layers overlap in La Magdalena. The church reuses a former mosque, retaining traces of courtyard and minaret alongside Christian architecture. The nearby spring introduces the Jaén Lizard story as folklore rather than historical fact. Explore square and neighbourhood while respecting private spaces. Check current arrangements for the courtyard and church interior.
