Brief description: The Extramuros route runs through the neighborhoods that once emerged outside the walled enclosure due to the growth of the city from the 13th century (Arrabal de San Miguel and Arrabal de San Bartolomé). In these neighborhoods most of the religious orders that came to our city settled, which built their convent houses outside of what was the urban nucleus at that time. Also in these neighborhoods or suburbs were located the city's artisan guilds. The names of some streets are still preserved, which honor them (Ollerías, Ballesteros, Meloneras, Jewish Quarters, Vendederas, etc.)

This route offers different starting possibilities, since the route can be started at the Roman Bridge, which although due to its age does not coincide with the creation of the suburbs, due to its location and nature, it is also located outside of what the walled enclosure.

On our way to the Church of San Bartolomé, which was the only one that was built outside the walls, we will see the facade of the Casa del Ecijano. In the last section of the route we will walk through the Corredera San Bartolomé with its regionalist houses, to finish the tour in the Plaza Vieja (old Plaza de Mestanza).
