Andújar

Also known as Andujar

Andújar is a town on the Guadalquivir in the province of Jaén, Andalusia, Spain. In the 1220s it passed to Ferdinand III of Castile as one of the castles handed over by his ally, the Almohad prince al-Bayyasi, and it became a Castilian frontier town. It is known for its pottery and for the shrine of the Virgen de la Cabeza in the nearby Sierra Morena, a major pilgrimage centre.
