Itinerary
Our guided tour begins at the Alcazar door, where you will meet your guide. We will tour this fortress, where Roman and Visigothic remains coexist with those of Arab origin since it was a favorite place of the different rulers of the city. We will walk through its gardens with its ponds and lush vegetation. *IMPORTANT WARNING!* : The Alcázar de los Reyes Cristianos will be closed completely from January 7, PENDING CONFIRMATION OF A NEW OPENING DATE, so it will not be possible to visit this monument normally. Therefore, this part of the tour will be replaced by a visit to the Caliph Baths and a tour of the Old Palace Quarter with some of its most emblematic courtyards, at no additional cost and without changes to your booking
We continue the visit entering the impressive Mosque where we will learn about the history of its construction and about the Islamic culture. Its history summarizes the complete evolution of the Umayyad style in Spain, in addition to the Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque styles of Christian construction.

About Córdoba
Córdoba is an Andalusian city on the Guadalquivir, once the capital of Moorish Spain, with the great Mezquita, a Roman bridge and flower-filled patios.
Córdoba was the capital of Moorish Spain in the 10th century, one of the largest and most learned cities in Europe, and its old town is a World Heritage site. The Mezquita-Catedral, begun as a mosque in the 8th century, has a forest of double-arched columns in red and white and a Christian cathedral built inside it in the 16th century. A Roman bridge crosses the Guadalquivir to the Calahorra Tower.
Top-ranked sights in Córdoba: Mezquita (Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba), Cordoba Jewish Quarter (Judería de Córdoba), Roman Bridge (Puente Romano).
