Córdoba

Cordova (Córdoba) occupies a broad stretch of the Guadalquivir valley in inland Andalusia. Once the capital of the Umayyad emirate and caliphate of al-Andalus, it became one of medieval Europe’s leading centres of learning. The Mezquita-Cathedral preserves the forest of columns and red-and-white arches of the former Great Mosque, begun in the 8th century, alongside the cathedral inserted after the Castilian conquest in 1236. Across the river, the Roman Bridge leads toward the old quarter, whose historic core is listed by UNESCO. Cordova’s annual Fiesta de los Patios celebrates flower-filled private courtyards in spring.
