Cordoba in the North of Andalucia was founded by the Romans back in 152BC. The following six centuries, up until the Moorish conquest in the 8th century, were rich in trade with olive oil, minerals and wool. When the Moors took over, the city became overwhelmed by Islamic culture.
Nowadays, Cordoba is an attractive, pleasurable city that´s still steeped in history. It´s easy to get to via the major highways. Once in the city itself, you?d be better off on foot - parking?s a nightmare. The cathedral area in the old town is a good reference point. From here you can easily walk to all the surrounding attractions.
Cordoba is home to the La Mezquita cathedral, which is considered by many to be one of the most important Islamic monuments in the western world. It´s a fascinating structure. You´ll see a mixture of many construction styles including: Islamic, Mudejar and Renaissance. Beyond the main door there is a beautiful courtyard called Orange trees Patio, lined with low trees and water courses.
As well as the Mezquita, Cordoba´s treasures include the Alcazar, the Calahorra Fort and the ancient Jewish Synagogue, which is now a museum.
The medieval quarter called La Judería (The Jewry) is well worth a visit. It´s stunning; a labyrinth of narrow winding streets and flower filled courtyards.
The southern part of Cordoba province is scatted with many typical Andalucían style villages, all with a great deal to offer in terms of history and culture. Take a few days to explore them all. |
