Each district has its own personality
Find the right area for your travel style

The monumental heart: the Mezquita column forest in morning light, the whitewashed lanes of the Juderia, one of only three surviving medieval synagogues in Spain, and the Alcazar fortress where Ferdinand and Isabella planned the conquest of Granada.

The defining view of Cordoba: the 2,000-year-old Roman Bridge with the Mezquita skyline behind it, the Calahorra Tower at the far end, and the Guadalquivir reflecting the sunset.

The working city centre: the rectangular plaza with its terrace restaurants, the food market in a renovated iron pavilion, Roman temple ruins in the middle of the modern city, and the shopping streets where cordobeses go about their day.

Traditional Cordoba north of the tourist zone: the palace with 12 flower-filled courtyards, the neighbourhood plaza that is the heart of old Cordoba, the lantern-lit crucifix in a quiet square, and the bars where salmorejo costs EUR 3-4.
