3Historic Centre of Córdoba
Córdoba’s old town is a living museum of cultural fusion. Its crown jewel, the Mezquita-Catedral (Mosque-Cathedral), is one of the most extraordinary religious monuments in the world. Originally a mosque built during the Umayyad Caliphate, it was later converted into a cathedral after the Reconquista.
Inside, rows of red-and-white arches create a hypnotic visual rhythm, while the Renaissance nave inserted into the mosque reflects the city’s layered history. Wandering through Córdoba’s Jewish Quarter, patios filled with flowers, and medieval bridges adds to the magic of this UNESCO site.
