6 Top Things to Do in C贸rdoba, Cordoba, Spain

C贸rdoba was once the Roman and Moorish capital of Spain with its roots in the banks of the Guadalquivir River in Andalusia, Spain. It has a rich cultural and architectural heritage and in medieval times it was one of the few places Jews, Muslims, and Christians lived together peacefully. Yet, it鈥檚 somewhat overshadowed by its neighbors, Granada and Seville and left out of many Spanish itineraries. I enjoyed my stay in the city so much, I would recommend it to anyone traveling to Spain and the South. Here鈥檚 my 6 Top Things to do in C贸rdoba I compiled after my stay.

The Mezquita is C贸rdoba鈥檚 most spectacular sight to behold. It was built as a mosque in 786 and turned into a cathedral after the Christians finally conquered C贸rdoba in the 1200s. It鈥檚 filled with a 鈥榝orest鈥� of marble columns and typical Islamic red-and-white horseshoe arches, multiple domes, a mihrab (prayer niche) and various chapels. You can spend hours here admiring the detail and grandness of the construction, reminding just how important C贸rdoba was in ancient times. Be sure to take a look at the tranquil orange tree patio just outside the Mezquita. See all my photographs and more info about a visit to the Mezquita here. ......
