Did you know Córdoba is the only city in the World having four World Heritage Unesco sites ? The first one is the well known Mosque-Cathedral, the amazing medieval Mosque hiding a Renaissance Cathedral inside. This top 5 monument of Spain is a must see once in a lifetime. In 1994, the Unesco enlarged its recognition to the old town of Córdoba. Being the second largest one in Europe, it is quite easy to get lost in the middle of the hundred of narrow streets and little squares. The old town includes the famous Jewish Quarter, very well preserved and member of the Sefarad Jewish Network in Spain. As part of the old town, we cannot forget the Alcazar. This former Arabic name hides an imponent Christian construction which has been used as a palace as well as a prison. You will love and hate it in equal shares !
We will start our tour by visiting the magnificent Mosque-Cathedral for around an hour. This millennial building will cut your breath as we will travel across a thousand years of history. From the Islamic arches to the spectacular mahogany choir of the Cathedral. Then I'll show you the second World Heritage site in the city: the old town around the Mosque-Cathedral, the Jewish area, and one of the most appreciated treasures of Córdoba: the 14th-century Synagogue. The white narrow streets will be our path to arrive at the Alcazar, our final destination. Alcazar means palace in Arabic. We will explore together the different layers of construction which have made it a very mysterious place. Many legends from Inquisition times and stories from when kings and queens used to live there are ready to be told. You will enjoy one of the best views of the city and have a nice fresh walk in a little Versailles garden inside the Alcazar. The itinerary is flexible, for any changes please let me know.
