Überblick

The historic centre was, in 1984, as a whole, declared a world heritage site by UNESCO. The Roman Bridge, the Torre de la Calahorra, the streets of the Jewish Quarter, the Synagogue, the Sotos of Albolaifa and the royal stable are just some of the few attractions we will see during the tour. We will also visit the Mosque which today remains an important gem of Islamic art. Inside the mosque (entrance is included) visitors have a complete audio guide in whatever language they require so that they can get a real sense of their surroundings. The Mezquita (Mosque) dates back to the 10th century when Córdoba reached its zenith under a new emir, Abd ar-Rahman 111 who was one of the great rulers of Islamic history. At this time Córdoba was the largest, most prosperous cities of Europe, outshining Byzantiumand Baghdad in science, culture and the arts. The development of the Great Mosque paralleled these new heights of splendour. After the walking tour you will have some free time to have lunch, go shopping and enjoy the endless beauty of the city of Cordoba. Includes: Transportation, guide, and entrance of the mosque.
