Baza is a small town in the province of Granada, southern Spain. It is located in the heart of the Sierra Nevada, at the foot of the Mulhacén, the highest mountain in Spain. The town is a popular starting point for hikers and climbers, and is also known for its traditional pottery.
The town is centred around the Plaza de la Constitución, a large square with a 16th-century church and a statue of the Virgin Mary. On the edge of the square is the Casa de la Cultura, a building dating from the Moorish period which now houses a museum of local history.
Other places of interest in Baza include the 16th-century palace of the Marqués de Villena, the Fuente de los Leones (Fountain of the Lions), and the ruins of the Roman town of Acinipo.
