      The Alcázar of the Christian Kings, a fortress and palace with solid walls, contains within its interior a large part of the architectural evolution of Córdoba. Roman and Visigoth remains coexist with those of Arab origin in this majestic site, since it was a favorite place of the different rulers of the city. When Córdoba was conquered by Ferdinand III the Saint in 1236, the building, which was part of the old Caliphate Palace, was completely devastated. Alfonso X the Wise begins its restoration, completed during the reign of Alfonso XI. Throughout History it has been given multiple uses, as the Seat of the Holy Office (Inquisition), or a prison (in the first half of the 19th century).
