Discover the most remarkable landmarks of Córdoba on a tour that takes you through the Alcázar of the Christian Monarchs, the Jewish Quarter, the Synagogue, the Chapel of San Bartolomé and the Caliphal Baths, an ensemble that reflects centuries of intertwined history, cultures and traditions. This experience reveals some of the city’s most important monuments, perfect complements to the world-renowned Mosque-Cathedral.
The journey begins at the Alcázar of the Christian Monarchs, a majestic fortress-palace surrounded by some of the most beautiful gardens in Córdoba. Over the centuries it served as residence for kings and queens, including the Catholic Monarchs, and welcomed influential figures such as Julius Caesar, Boabdil and Christopher Columbus. Its towers, courtyards and ponds evoke the grandeur of its long history.
We continue through the Jewish Quarter, one of Córdoba’s most atmospheric neighborhoods, where we visit the Synagogue, one of only three preserved in all of Spain. Dating back to the 12th century, this temple stands out for its exquisite ataurique decoration, an outstanding example of Andalusi art that reflects the cultural coexistence that shaped the city.
Nearby, the Chapel of San Bartolomé offers the finest example of Mudejar art in Córdoba. Its interior blends Christian and Islamic influences, creating a space full of symbolism that some scholars believe may once have been a synagogue, echoing the multicultural essence of the city.
The tour concludes at the Caliphal Baths, associated with the first Caliph of Córdoba and discovered accidentally in 1903. This thermal complex played a key role in the social life of the 10th century, and during the visit you will explore the cold, warm and hot rooms that reveal an essential part of caliphal culture.
A complete and immersive tour that allows you to experience the historical, artistic and cultural heart of Córdoba.
