Calle de las Flores

This is a narrow street that leads to a small dead-end square. This urban typology was typical of the Hispano-Muslim period and can also be found in the no less famous Calleja del Pañuelo. These used to be spaces of private origin that were created to provide access to new dwellings created inside the blocks after the division of large buildings into smaller ones.

It should be remembered that at that time, demographic growth and the progressive occupation of the space inside the walls led to the current layout of the streets in the historic quarter. The Calleja de las Flores corresponds to this typology, although the current appearance and decoration are much later, from the mid-20th century, when the floor was replaced by the current cobblestones and the arches were added. Later, the fountain and flowerpots were added. The result is a picturesque postcard with the Cathedral tower in the background.
