Baroque Palace of the Counts of St. Ana is one of the finest examples of 18th-century civil architecture in our city. Its construction was commissioned by the Mora-Saavedra family between 1730 and 1750. This family, likely of Jewish convert origins, was part of the many families that settled in Lucena, drawn by the fame the city had enjoyed in earlier times. Beyond its magnificente fa\u00e7ade, the architecture is notable for its two courtyards \u2013the second of which is porticoed\u2013 and its beautiful staircase. The staircase is crowned by a dome, attributed by its style to two master builders from Lucena: Francisco Jos\u00e9 Guerrero and Pedro de Mena Guti\u00e9rrez. The palace houses the Lucena City Interpretation Centre and the Municipal Tourist Information Office.<\/p>\n

The building adjacent to the Church of San Pedro M\u00e1rtir de Verona was a former Dominican convent founded in 1575 by the Bishop of C\u00f3rdoba; following the 1836 secularization decree, it became part of the National Heritage. Before passing into municipal ownership, the building served as an anise distillery, an oil mill, and a winery. It preserves a splendid Mannerist courtyard, featuring an arcade with semi-circular arches and columns set on pedestals. At its centre, it preserves a fountain surrounded by a garden and palm trees. It also features a second backyard with open green spaces for everyone to enjoy. A total of 11 rooms are spread across three floors, featuring permanent exhibitions dedicated to \u2018Our School\u2019 and \u2018Lucena Candle-Making Craftsmanship\u2019.<\/p>\n

The so-called \u201cHouse of the Virgin\u201d, now the headquarters of the Royal Archconfraternity of Mar\u00eda Sant\u00edsima de Araceli and the Araceli Museum, was acquired in 1750 by the \u201cservant brothers\u201d of Our Lady to provide lodging for them and to safeguard the belongings of the Patroness. In past times, when there was a significant rural population, it served as a landmark place and refuge for peasants visiting the city. After losing this important role, it became the social headquarters of the deeply rooted Araceli devotion, a centre for cultural activities, and a museum displaying in its showcases a beautiful collection of embroidered mantles, thrones, and all kind of devotional objects, as well as documents related to the rich history of Our Lady of Araceli.<\/p>\n
