About this experience

The Mosque at the time was the largest in the world and after the conquest by the Christians, a Cathedral was built right in the middle of the Mosque!

Detailed itinerary

1

Private tour of the Amazing Cordoba with private English speaking official guide to give you a wonderful insight of the history and culture of this spectacular place. / / Cordoba was once one of the greatest cities of the medieval world, even challenging Constantinople with its extraordinary palaces and mosques – the grandest of which, the Mezquita, is still one of the wonders of Europe. Now, the city is smaller than its Andalusian neighbors such as Granada and Seville, which in a way makes it far more appealing and charming.
The main attractions are easily accessible on foot, wandering among the squares of the old town, the narrow streets of the ancient Jewish quarter, Cordoba is renowned for its extensive selection of tapas bars, where you’re as likely to be surrounded by locals as tourists. Extremely hot in the summer, Cordoba’s climate is at its best in autumn and spring.
The most important feature of Cordoba is the Mezquita (Mosque) which after the re-conquest of Andalusia by the Christians, a Renaissance cathedral was constructed rather unusually and open plan in the center of the Mosque.The Roman Bridge over the River Guadalquivir offers the opportunity to walk across and gaze back for a terrific view of the medieval town of Cordoba.
