Modern Cordoba Tour
We'll meet at a time of your choosing at your hotel in the centre of Cordoba. From there, we'll walk to the Vélez Sarsfield square to see the Renaissance facade of the Archbishop's Palace. Next to its entrance, we'll see the Intelligent Building, which features a glass and steel exterior contrasting with the archbishop's seat.
We'll continue along Avenida Hipólito Yrigoyen to the Anthropology Museum and the modern cultural centre Paseo del Buen Pastor, opened in 2007. Here, you can take a photo in front of its famous dancing water fountain.
Adjacent to the cultural centre, we'll view the façade of the church of the Sagrado Corazón, also known as the church of the Capuchins, a notable neo-Gothic monument. The next stop will be the Palacio Ferreyra, where we'll visit the Museo Superior de Bellas Artes "Evita", featuring French neoclassical decoration.
The "Evita" museum is located in Plaza de España, where we'll also see the façade of the Provincial Museum of Fine Arts "Emilio Caraffa". We will discuss the architectural characteristics of both buildings.
After a three-hour tour, we'll conclude at the Coniferal viewpoint, offering views of the Eiffel wheel, an old waterwheel possibly constructed by the same workshop that built the Eiffel Tower.
Meeting point
We'll start this walking tour from your hotel in the city centre. If you're in a more remote area, please go directly to Vélez Sarsfield square. The guide will meet you at the central monument of the plaza, at the crossroads between Hipólito Yrigoyen and Vélez Sarsfield avenues.
