Reasons to visit CORDOBA
Cordoba, has the second largest Old Town of Europe, and the largest urban area in the world declared World Heritage by UNESCO. Considered the most important historical buildings in the old town of Cordoba are: The Great Mosque of Cordoba, the Roman temple and the Roman bridge.
The Cathedral and former Great Mosque of Cordoba (Mezquita-Catedral) dates from the year 600 and was originally a pagan temple, later a Visigoth Christian church, before the Umayyad Moors at first converted the building into a mosque and then built a new mosque on the site.
Near the mosque/cathedral you will find the Jewish quarter, which consists of many irregular streets. In this area you will find the Cordoba Synagogue which is a historical edifice built in 1315.
At the river "Guadalquivir", Spain's second largest river, are situated the mills of the Guadalvivir, which were used by the Muslims to grid flour. The Roman walls are surrounding the large Old Town of Cordoba, where you will find 3 gates: Puerta de Almodóvar, the Puerta de Sevilla and Puerta del Puente, which remain from the 13 gates the city once had.
Parks and Gardens: Cruz Conde, Botanic garden and zoo; these three places are near each other. We think that Alcazar Garden, Duque de Rivas Gardens, Victoria Gardens, Juan Carlos I Park and Asomadilla Park are very interesting sites to enjoy a calm walk. We recommend you visit some yards with its pretty decoration and the Corredera square.
There is a lot more to discover in Cordoba, which makes Cordoba a city worth visiting during your stay in Andalusia.
