ENGLISH
Baeza is a town of approximately 15,000 in Andalusia, Spain, in the province of Jaén, perched on a cliff in the Loma de Úbeda, a mountain range between the river Guadalquivir on the south and its tributary the Guadalimar on the north. The town has existed since Roman times, when it was called Beatia, but it is chiefly known today as having many of the best-preserved examples of Italian Renaissance architecture in Spain. UNESCO added Baeza and Ubeda to the World Heritage Sites list in 2003.

In the middle ages Baeza was a flourishing Moorish city, said to contain 50,000 inhabitants, but it fell to the forces of Ferdinand III of Castile in 1227. The Cordova and Úbeda gates, and the arch of Baeza, are among the remains of its Moorish fortifications.

In the 16th century, Baeza and nearby Úbeda grew rich from the production of textiles, and local nobles hired important architects, such as Andrés de Vandelvira, to design new palaces, churches and public squares in the fashionable Italian style. The economy collapsed in the 17th century, which had the fortunate side effect of preserving Baeza's Renaissance architectural legacy, because few newer structures were built. Baeza appears much more Italian than Spanish, with an unusual sense of lightness, order, and proportion.

CASTELLANO
La ciudad de Baeza se encuentra en el centro geográfico de la provincia de Jaén, al este de la Comunidad Autónoma de Andalucía, (España).

En la actualidad es conocida por su legado monumental, habiendo sido declarada, junto a Úbeda, ciudad Patrimonio de la humanidad por la UNESCO y ser una de las tres sedes de la Universidad Internacional de Andalucía.

"Nido Real de Gavilanes " que la llamó el romancero, fue un punto clave en la conquista de Al-Andalus por los reyes cristianos. Atalaya sobre el Guadalquivir, su posesión aseguró la espalda castellana y la amenaza para los reinos que estaban en la ribera izquierda del Gran Río. Tanta importancia tiene su conquista, (1227), que el rey Fernando III decide que a partir de ese momento la bandera real, que luego sería la española, tenga sobre sí el aspa o cruz de San Andrés, pues atribuye al apóstol y a su intercesión la milagrosa conquista. Y durante siglos, hasta Carlos III, será el símbolo distintivo de las banderas españolas, y aun hoy el rey Juan Carlos apoya todo su escudo en la Cruz de San Andrés, en cuya festividad, 30 de noviembre se conquista la ciudad de Baeza. Tres siglos después la reina Isabel I, temerosa de que los nobles le discutieran su poder, mandó derribar su Alcázar, del que solo veremos algún resto.

Tree house

This is the rambling tree house where I grew up. It is built into the rocky oklahoma hills. (the rocks are exposed in the lower level of the house.)
My mom and dad designed and built it the year I was born. Every spring would see a new project add something to it in Dr Suess fashion. Balconies, a guest house, a gazebo. walkways to connect them, gardens and patios appeared one by one .
