Plaza and dungeon of the Archpriest · Hita

The Plaza del Arcipreste, old market and core of the medieval Jewish quarter of Hita, housed the homes of Jewish merchants dedicated to wine and wool. Today it shows popular architecture with colonnaded houses and Mudejar brick facades. A wall, called the Pretil, separates it from the Plaza de Doña Endrina. In that wall is the dungeon of the Archpriest, recreation of the prison of Juan Ruiz, medieval poet author of the "Book of Good Love", imprisoned in the fourteenth century by order of Archbishop Gil de Albornoz.
