The Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba is one of the most impressive monuments in the world, a symbol of Islamic art in the West and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1984. It was originally the Visigothic Basilica of San Vicente, shared by Christians and Muslims. In 784, Abd al-Rahman I began construction of the mosque, which was expanded by his successors: Abd al-Rahman II, Abd al-Rahman III, Al-Hakam II, and Almanzor. After the Christian Reconquista in 1236, it was consecrated as the Cathedral of the Assumption of Our Lady, and in 1523 a Renaissance basilica was built inside.

The Plaza de las Tendillas marks the boundary between Córdoba's historic center and its commercial district. It is a large space surrounded by historic buildings, cafes, and shops, whose quintessential symbol is the equestrian statue of Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba. The sculpture of this nobleman and knight known as "The Great Captain" is made of bronze, except for the head, which is made of marble.

The Almodóvar Gate is one of the most emblematic entrances to Córdoba's ancient walled city, and one of the few still standing. Its history and architecture reflect the city's cultural richness throughout the centuries.

Built in the 1st century BC by the Romans, this bridge has been an important gateway over the Guadalquivir River. Originally, it had 16 arches, although only 14 remain today, and it connects the historic center of Córdoba with the Campo de la Verdad neighborhood. Calahorra Tower: This fortress of Islamic origin was conceived as an entrance and protection for the Roman Bridge. It was declared a Historic-Artistic Site in 1931. The tower has undergone several renovations over the centuries, including the addition of a third tower in the 14th century.

The Mosque-Cathedral complex, the river, the Puerta del Puente and the Roman Bridge of Córdoba itself, make up one of the most exquisite views of the city, even more so if you visit at dusk, at that uncertain hour when the last rays of sunlight gild the surfaces.

The Plaza de la Corredera is one of the most famous squares in Córdoba and the only rectangular square in the Castilian style in Andalusia. This square is an important historical and social meeting point in the city and is reminiscent of the great main squares such as the Plaza Mayor in Madrid. The Plaza de la Corredera was built in the 17th century under the direction of the architect Antonio Ramós Valdés. Originally it served as a venue for public festivals, bullfights and even executions during the Inquisition. It was an important market and commercial square, surrounded by residential buildings and arcades. Today the Plaza de la Corredera is a popular meeting place for locals and visitors to the city. It has a lively atmosphere and is also home to numerous cafes that invite you to linger. Markets, concerts and cultural events are held here regularly.

The Puerta de Almodóvar is one of the most impressive remains of the medieval city walls of Córdoba. It is located to the west of the old town and served as the main entrance to the city during the Islamic rule. Its name refers to the road that led from Córdoba towards the village of Almodóvar del Río. The current gate, built in the 14th century over the Arab gate, consists of two prismatic towers.

The Torre de la Calahorra is a fortified tower of Islamic origin, designed as an entrance and protection of the Roman bridge of Cordoba. The tower, which stands on the left bank of the Guadalquivir, was rebuilt in 1369 by order of Henry II of Trastámara to defend himself against his brother Pedro I of Castile, adding a third tower to the two existing ones. In 1931 it was declared a Historic-Artistic Monument, and today the building houses the Museo Vivo de al-Ándalus.
