Ubeda was known as Arab Ubbadat when it was founded in the 9th century. It was only after the conquest of King Ferdinand the Third that this city became known as Ubeda. It was also during this time (15th century) that many wealthy aristocrats made their homes here.

The Renaissance Period is prominent in this town and most of the architecture reflects this. The most distinguishable building is the El Salvador Sacred Chapel standing in the centre of the plaza. The Constable Davalos Palace lies next to the chapel and has grand double archways with a pristine courtyard behind.
