Detailed itinerary

1
Stop 1

This central square captures the spirit of modern Córdoba, surrounded by elegant buildings and lively cafés. At its center stands a statue of Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba, and the square’s unique clock plays flamenco guitar notes instead of traditional chimes, adding a local touch to the city's rhythm.

2

One of Córdoba’s most striking historical landmarks, the Roman Temple offers a glimpse into the city’s ancient past. Built in the 1st century AD during the Roman Empire, its towering Corinthian columns stand as a reminder of Córdoba’s importance in Roman Hispania. Though only remnants remain, the scale and elegance of the structure still impress today.

3

This vibrant square is one of Córdoba’s most iconic open spaces, known for its rectangular shape and red-brick arcades. Once used for markets, bullfights, and public celebrations, it remains a lively hub filled with terraces, local shops, and everyday life. The architecture hints at its 17th-century origins, making it a unique blend of history and local charm.

4

Tucked away near the river, Plaza del Potro is a quiet, charming square with deep literary and historical roots. Its name comes from the stone fountain topped with a foal, or potro, which still stands at its center. The square is mentioned in Cervantes’ Don Quixote and is surrounded by beautiful buildings, including former inns that once welcomed travelers centuries ago.

5
Stop 5

Spanning the Guadalquivir River, the Roman Bridge is one of Córdoba’s most iconic landmarks. Originally built in the 1st century BC, it has been rebuilt and restored over the centuries, yet still retains its ancient charm. With stunning views of the Mezquita and the old city, it's a powerful reminder of Córdoba’s Roman origins and its lasting legacy.

6

The Judería, or Jewish Quarter, is a maze of narrow, whitewashed streets that reflect Córdoba’s rich multicultural history. Once home to a thriving Jewish community during the Middle Ages, this area is filled with charm — from traditional courtyards and artisan shops to historic landmarks like the Synagogue. Its peaceful, winding lanes invite you to imagine the stories of those who lived here centuries ago.

Stop 7

This imposing fortress-palace was once home to Christian monarchs and a key site during the Reconquista. Built in the 14th century, the Alcázar blends military architecture with elegant gardens, reflecting its role as both a royal residence and strategic stronghold. Its walls have witnessed centuries of history, from Roman mosaics to meetings between Queen Isabella, King Ferdinand, and Christopher Columbus.

8

Set within a beautiful 19th-century iron-and-glass pavilion, Mercado Victoria is Córdoba’s first gourmet market. Inside, you’ll find a vibrant mix of local flavors, from Andalusian tapas to international bites, all served in a lively, modern setting. It’s a popular spot for both locals and visitors to enjoy the city’s culinary culture in a relaxed atmosphere.

9

This distinctive 15th-century tower was originally built as a defensive watchtower to protect Córdoba’s walls. Its name, meaning “Tower of the Badly Dead Woman,” comes from a local legend tied to a tragic story. With its unique octagonal shape and sturdy stone construction, it stands as a fascinating piece of the city’s medieval history.
