Things to do/Places to Visit
The main focus of Cordoba is the la Mezquita; an impressive Arabian mosque which is the third biggest in the world with an extension of 23.000 square meters. It was built between 785 and 1002. It is considered by many to be the most beautiful and original building of all Spain.
Highlights include the Great Hall, which is characterised by horseshoe arches of alternating white stone and red brick, the Patio de Los Naranjas, the Ablutions Courtyard in which orange trees and fountains for ritual purification before prayer can be found, and the Mihrab, (prayer niche). In the 16th century the mosque was transformed into a Christian church with the building of a Renaissance Choir.
North of La Mezquita lies the Juderia, Cordoba’s old Jewish quarter, with its fascinating network of lanes.
Alcazar de los Reyes Cristianos; The Palace of the Christian Kings, was built in 1328 by Alfonso XI. This historic monument is surrounded by beautiful gardens, and has retained many of its original features such as its Keep Towers, originally, of which there were four, however only three remain. There is also a valuable collection of roman mosaics and remarkable Arabian baths.
At the Eastern limit of the gardens there are fortification-walls and the Door of Seville, with a monument to the poet Ibn Hazm.
