Highlights
  • Mezquita Cathedral de Cordoba - Entry is via the Puerta del Perdón (north side), characterized by its Mudejar architecture from 1477. Here, one can admire the orderly plantings of orange and palm trees, along with the fountains and horseshoe arches that encircle the area. Adjacent to this entrance is the mosque, comprising three main sections: ‘El Patio de los Naranjos’, which during the Caliphate era served as the ‘Patio de los Ablutions’ and still maintains much of its original form, the minaret which has been partially dismantled, and the early 17th-century ‘formwork’ in the Herrerian style that now encases it.

Step inside the Mosque, a gem of the Caliphate, to uncover its mysteries as you navigate among its columns of jasper, marble, and granite. Delve into the history of Al-Andalus by exploring the development of a sanctuary that spans over 1,200 years. Adorn yourself with the splendor of Umayyad, Byzantine, and Christian art that ranks among the most significant in the world.
