The Alcazar is the second most visited attraction in Cordoba. The Alcazar of Cordoba offers a fascinating marvellous compound that has witnessed a many interesting parts of Spain´s history. Built by the Visigoths, then rebuilt by the Moorish Caliphate of Cordoba, it became then the Alcazar of the Christian Kings when Cordoba was conquered. Later in time, the Alcazar was the headquarter for the inquisition!
Our favorite thing at the Alcazar is the beautiful gardens and courtyards and the views from the Walls.
We recommend this very affordable tour as the best way to enjoy the Alcazar and skip the line.
Cordoba was one of the most important cities in Europe and its old district, one of the largest in the world, has been very well preserved. It is one of those places where you enjoy discovering small streets and alleys, finding houses and patios full of flowers, or discovering a small square with orange trees. The Jewish district is located North and west of the Mosque. This part of Cordoba, once a ghetto, retains the street plan it had centuries ago. It is an amazing place to discover and with a guided tour you will learn many amazing anecdotes!
When the Caliphas got the feeling that the city of Cordoba was too crowded they decided to build an amazing place. Medina Azahara was a vanity, magnificent project. The project was part of Abd-ar-Rahman III ambition to demonstrate the importance and beauty of the Caliphate of Cordoba. This was a project meant to shade all other Islamic rulers…. But it was soon after destroyed by African Berbers. In 1911 a project to rebuild it was initated and today you can feel all the splendour of this amazing place.
