      About three weeks ago, my wife and I visited Ubeda and surrounding towns for a few days. I must confess that I did not know what to expect from the visit to this palace. The guided tour we took (only way to visit), went beyond my wildest expectations. Mr. Natalio Rivas Sabater, the current owner and occupant, took us to several rooms including a bedroom, two libraries, a dinning room, etc. All along he proudly spoke of his ancestry and all the treasures accumulated over several centuries. These included paintings, sculptures, fire arms, ancient books, and even a papal bull. We enjoyed the whole visit tremendously. The host is a very gentle, friendly man, proud of his possessions, his country, and his ancestors. At one point he also decided to let us see something not shown to every group, his personal office, full of historical photographs and valuable documents of all types. I must add that Mr. Rivas Sabater does not speak English, but he mentioned that he gives tours in French and German besides Spanish. During our visit I was happy to do the translation to English for the rest of the group. Also, the host does not mind picture or video taking.Anyone interested in history or art will be pleased with this visit. Ubeda is a very charming town and visiting this palace, made a nice complement to being there.

      A tour guide is necessary to get a full understanding of this beautiful historic building which is NOT a church, but originally built for Francisco de los Cobos. Our guide was booked for us by the Parador, using the Semer Turismo. There are so many wonderful things to see in Ubeda, but this one really caught our imagination. It is beautifully lighted at night as well.

      There is a guided tour of the Palace of Vela de los Cobos that visitors to Ubeda should take. It shows the beautiful interiors of the palace. There are guided visits and the Semer Turismo office to reserve these visits is located across the street at Calle Juan Montilla, 3. Cost is 4 euros.The Palace of Vela de los Cobos was constructed by Andres de Vandelvira in the middle of the 16th century for Francisco Vela de los Cobos, the Governor of Ubeda, Captain of Cavalry in the war against the Moriscos of Granada, and a Gentleman of the the Court of Felipe II. He died in 1569 and his family line came to its end in 1642. The people who bought the palace did not take care of it and it deteriorated until 1873.It was then that the banker Ignacio de Sabater from Madrid bought the palace and restored it. This gentleman had amassed a very large fortune in banking and was a senator in the Spanish parliament. He lived between 1855 and 1939. His great-grandson is Natalio Rivas Sabater and the present owner of the palace. The last restoration took place in 1966 and has left the palace in a very good condition. If one is lucky, the owner will be the person giving the tour. The facade has three floors. The main entrance has two Corinthian columns that are joined by a lintel. Above this is a small balcony with a large window on the second floor with Ionic columns on each side and a triangular pediment on top. On each side of the window is a warrior that holds the coat of arms of the owner of the palace. There are other balcony windows with pilasters or columns and pediments, and with wrought iron railings. The small balconies with windows became very popular in the second half of the 16th century and 17 century. The corner balcony was used frequently in the Spanish Renaissance. It has a slender marble column. The third floor has an open gallery that is decorated with geometric figures in the pilasters, arches, and balconies. The palace has one of the best private collections of art in the city, with an important library and historic archives. The library has about 6000 books now, some printed in the 16th century. The rare books are probably the most valuable part of the palace, more than the paintings. One of the best parts to be seen in the tour is the very large dining room, where the distinguished diplomats and important people have had reunions with the family. The period furniture and art work are also very interesting. We were fortunate that the person who gave us the tour was the owner and we were only 6 on the tour.

      Estamos encantados, mi marido y yo, de haber podido visitar este palacio con un guía como es Natalio Rivas, su propietario, la historia del palacio y de la familia concentrada en él.

      Precioso palacio renacentista, diseñado por Andres del Vandelvira, situado en el centro de la ciudad de Úbeda. Se compra la entrada en una agencia frente al palacio. Es enseñado por su dueño, Don Natalio Rivas, dos veces al día. La parte que enseña, entrada, sala de armas, comedor, escalera de espejo, habitación y la biblioteca. Sólo por la biblioteca vale la pena. Las indicaciones del propietario dan sentido a todo lo que se puede ver. Muy recomendable.

      lo mejor de esta casa, aparte de estar muy bien conservada, de tener una biblioteca preciosa, y tener un salón palaciego con la mesa puesta incluso, según dice el propio dueño porque "viste más", es justamente eso, el dueño. La última generación de la familia, el señor Natalio, con sus 87 años está ahí tan feliz mostrando su casa a los demás. Vale la pena verla por 3 euros ( con descuento por hacer la ruta con servicios semer), y hacerse una idea de cómo vivia la nobleza de úbeda
