Córdoba is one of the most demanding cities both nationally and internationally, due to the incredible and rich heritage that safeguards, in addition to its unimaginable gastronomy, and the great landscapes that make this city a unique place to visit.
The city of Córdoba is located at the foot of Sierra Morena, an Andalusian municipality and the capital of the province of Córdoba. It has a total of 8 municipalities, with a population of 363,326 inhabitants.
The beginnings of this incredible city date back to around 32000 B.C. approximately, called Pre-Roman Córdoba and which later became Roman Córdoba around the 3rd century B.C. founded by the Roman general Marcus Claudius Marcellus. In this period the inhabitants lived from agriculture, livestock and trade and also built large public buildings such as temples, circus, theatre, amphitheatre, aqueducts, baths… a great legacy left to us by the Roman period.
We can find archaeological legacy by the Romans and that is of great significance for tourists who delve into the history of the city of Córdoba, such as the Roman Bridge, which crosses the Guiadalquivir River. It is located on the Via Augusta, the ancient route that connected Rome with the rest of the cities of the Empire.
If you are a fan of the Roman worls, you cannot go without visiting the Archaeological and Ethnological Mausoleum, that preserves several relics from the period, from unique pieces, such as monetary use, to everyday objects from the day-to-day life of this marvellous era.
The Roman Temple of Córdoba is another of the wonders that will allow you to delve into the history of Córdoba. It was discovered in the 1950s during the enlargement of the city hall. Iit is the most important temple, 32 metres long and 16 metres wide, an architectural jewel.
Later inhabited by the Visigoths, in the 411, it was a slow process, but it also left some lovely archaeological monuments of Byzantine influence, such as the inscribed cross plan (model of Ravenna and Constantinople).
It was not until the Muslim period in 929 that the city reached its demographic peak, becoming a commercial, financial and cultural centre of the first order. In this period we highlight the great Mosque of Córdoba, which has been a World Heritage Site since 1984, Córdoba’s monument par excellence as it represents its maximum splendour.
The magnificent construction of the city of Medina Azahara of a majestic beauty. This site is located 7km away from the city of Córdoba, it is the last stop that complements the visit to the Mosque of Córdoba, you can not leave Córdoba without visiting it. Under the command of Abderramán III and between the years 936 and 976, he built this beautiful city. Medina Azahara is an example of the maximum splendour of the Muslim period. It was used as an administrative building for the caliphate and the legend says that this beautiful city came from a love story.
After a period of great monumental wealth, the Christian period, it was in 1492 when the Catholic Monarchs expelled Muslims and Jews from the Iberian Peninsula. A cathedral was built inside the Mosque.
In Córdoba you can find several gardens, parks and natural spaces that will leave everyone who sees them speechless, such as the Alcazar Gardens in Córdoba, a place to walk around and enjoy its fantastic vegetation.
The most important festivities of this beautiful city are Carnival, Semana Santa (Easter) a religious event that takes place between March and April, and in May you will find one of the most significant festivals, the Festival of the Patios Cordobeses. In this festival, the old city is recreated in its houses, specifically in the courtyards (legacy of the Romans and Muslims) with all kinds of vegetation.
