Information about Cordoba
Cordoba was once one of the most magnificent cities of the medieval era, rivalling even Constantinople with its stunning palaces and mosques—among which the Mezquita stands as a true marvel of Europe. Today, the city is smaller than its Andalusian counterparts like Granada and Seville, lending it a unique appeal and charm.
The main attractions are easily navigable on foot, allowing visitors to stroll through the squares of the old town and the narrow alleys of the historic Jewish quarter. Cordoba is celebrated for its vast array of tapas bars, where both locals and tourists mingle in a vibrant atmosphere. While summers can be blisteringly hot, the climate in autumn and spring is truly delightful.
The centerpiece of Cordoba is undoubtedly the Mezquita (Mosque), where, following the Christian reconquest of Andalusia, a distinctively open-plan Renaissance cathedral was erected in the heart of the Mosque. The Roman Bridge spanning the River Guadalquivir provides an excellent vantage point to appreciate the picturesque view of Cordoba's medieval townscape.
