Cordoba Walking tour 3h30 and 23 audio commentary

You walk here in the footsteps of the Roman period, during which a first bridge was built to connect the two banks of the Guadalquivir.

You pass here under the most famous gate of Cordoba, which marks the entrance to the Andalusian city, which played a predominant role in the defense of the city against the invasions of enemies.

Here you are in front of the Alcazar of Cordoba, located in the city center.

Formerly belonging to the Alcazar, at the time when Muslim dynasties ruled the city, these baths were built in the 10th century in the same style as the ancient Roman baths, as for most Arab baths built at that time.

A monument of the city, and of Andalusia in general, this mosque has a long history behind it.

The calleja de las Flores, in French, the rue des fleurs, is one of the most touristic passages of the Andalusian city.

On your right is the chapel of San Bartolomé, a fine example of Mudéjare architecture built between the 14th and 15th centuries.

This charming little square is an integral part of Cordoba’s Jewish Quarter, which is itself part of the historic centre of the city, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

In the heart of the Jewish quarter of Cordoba, the synagogue is one of the only ones still preserved in Spain, built before the arrival of the Catholic Monarchs.

Opposite the synagogue, the casa de Sefarad is a museum opened in 2006 that traces the daily life, customs and culture of the Sephardic Jewish communities, that is, those from the Iberian Peninsula, who lived in Cordoba and its region.

This gate, which marks the entrance to the Jewish quarter, dates from the 14th century, but even before that date, a gate stood there at the time when Muslims ruled the city, and even in the time of the Romans.

Pine and plane trees shape these gardens that run along the historic center of Cordoba and lead straight to the Agriculture Gardens.

On your right stands the Merced Palace, built in the 18th century.

The Merced Gardens were laid out in 1905 on the site of the city’s old bullring. They were also designed in a circular shape reminiscent of the arena.

This square surrounded by white facades has been called Capuchinos since the beginning of the 17th century.

In front of you is the Viana Palace, one of Cordoba’s must-see tourist attractions.

An emblematic square of the Spanish city, this space in the heart of Cordoba reveals a unique quadrangular shape in Andalusia, reminiscent of that of the squares of Castile.

These impressive remains are those of a temple dating from the 1st century AD. – C., built in two stages between the year 41 and the year 96 during the reign of Emperor Claudius and then Emperor Domitian.

In recent years, this pretty square in the heart of the city has begun to steal the spotlight from the main square of the city, La Corredera.

We are in the San Francisco-Ribera district, in the center of Potro Square, one of the most famous in Cordoba.

You have here a nice view of the Roman bridge of Cordoba, a real treasure of the historical heritage of the city!

Just a stone’s throw from the Guadalquivir River, which crosses Andalusia, Miraflores Park was inaugurated in 2003 and designed to allow Cordobans to enjoy beautiful walks a stone’s throw from the city centre

Here you are in front of one of the largest medieval remains of Cordoba. This tower, listed as a Historic Monument, was built in the 12th century to protect the Roman bridge.
