Ah, Córdoba… Where three different religions come together in most astounding ways. Home of one so many beautiful Moorish monuments! But lets start with something even older. The old Roman bridge, known as Puente Romano is one of the oldest and best preserved bridges from Roman times.
It was built originally built in the early 1st century BC across the Guadalquivir river, though it has been reconstructed at various times since. For a long time, it was the only bridge across the river.
La Juderia
The Jewish quarter is hard to ignore. Imagine a maze of streets in which you can loose yourself. Not too worry though as it is not too big.
Flora
The people of Córdoba have a long lasting relationship with plants. Can you imagine that this city gives out an annual price for the best maintained patio?/
A bike tour through the city.
The best way to explore a city is by bike. Even more when accompanied by someone who knows the city through and through.
Alcazar of the Christian Monarchs
Highly recommended to visit (at least) two times. The first time you go with a tour guide. The next day you go by yourself and let it all soak in.
La Mezquita
The foundations of a Roman temple were used to build the Visigothic church of Vicent de Zaragoza. This beautiful mosq-cathedral, also known as La Mezquita, was built on this site, on the orders of Abd al-Rahman I, founder of the Islamic Emirate of Córdoba.
