During the Reconquista, in 1233, King Ferdinand III conquered Ubeda to the Kingdom of Castile. In 1368, the city was damaged during the Castilian Civil War between Peter I of Castile and Henry II of Castile. This, combined with other circumstances, caused the worsening of the rivalry between the nobel families de Trapera and de Aranda at first, and the families de la Cueva and de Molina after. This political instability was solved when the "Catholic Monarchs" ruled as they ordered the Alcázar, used by the nobility as a fortress, to be destroyed.
During the 16th century, these important Castilian aristocratic families from Úbeda reached top positions in the Spanish Monarchy administration. Notably, Francisco de los Cobos and Juan Vazquez de Molina became Secretaries of State for Emperor Charles V and Philip II respectively. Due to the patronage of arts of these competing families, Úbeda became a Renaissance focus in Spain.
Ubeda and neighboring Baeza benefited from this patronage resulting in the construction of a series of Renaissance style palaces and churches, which have been preserved ever since. In 2003, UNESCO declared the historic centres and landmarks of these two towns a World Heritage Site.
The Sinagoga del Agua was discovered during building works carried out in several real estate properties. The original idea of the project was to transform the old property into apartments, shops and car parks. After the discovery of various elements of the Synagogue, the initial project was abandoned. The recovery of this place began in 2007 and from February, 2010 it has been open to the public. Based on the existing research the synagogue existed here before the 14th century.

This little guy hated water (baths, lakes, etc.) until he was brought to Island Beach State Park (Beach 7, off-season). All day he jumped into the surf and chased the waves like he had no fears!
