Cordoba

Welcome to Cordoba

Córdoba is a city located in Andalusia, founded by the Romans in the 2nd century BC. Over the centuries, it was successively occupied by the Visigoths, Muslims, Jews, and Christians, leaving behind remarkable architectural remains. The Mezquita, a mosque converted into a cathedral in the city center, is a striking example. The latter is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Jewish quarter, called La Juderia, is also a must-see in Córdoba. It is characterized by its narrow streets lined with houses with wrought iron gates, offering views of patios adorned with flowers. Finally, the Alcázar, a fortress built by the Catholic Monarchs, is another jewel of the city, having served as a royal palace.
