Mosque-Cathedral & Alcazar Guided Tour

We'll meet at 10 am at Plaza del Triunfo, near the renowned Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba. After learning about its origins, we'll commence a guided tour of the interior.

During our visit to this historic place of worship, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, we'll explore the extensions ordered by emirs like Abderramán III and Alhakén II. Walking through the iconic forest of columns, we'll reach the mihrab, a horseshoe-arched prayer niche with intricate details.

We will also tour the nave of the transept before proceeding to the Alcazar of the Christian Monarchs. Here, we will review the history of this medieval fortress and view some remains from Roman times.

Inside the Alcazar, we will visit the Hall of the Mosaics, which previously housed a chapel from the Spanish Inquisition. We will conclude by enjoying the scents of the Alcazar Gardens, featuring Andalusian-style fountains and the sculpture of the Catholic Monarchs meeting Christopher Columbus.

After approximately three to three and a half hours of exploring these essential sites in Córdoba, our guided tour will end at the main entrance of the Alcazar.
