Mosque-Cathedral & Alcazar Guided Tour

Mosque-Cathedral & Alcazar Guided Tour

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

During our visit to this UNESCO World Heritage Site, we’ll explore extensions ordered by emirs such as Abderramán III and Alhakén II. We will walk through the forest of columns to reach the mihrab, the horseshoe-arched prayer niche.

Next, we’ll visit 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’ll see the Hall of the Mosaics, which once contained a chapel from the Spanish Inquisition. We will also explore the Alcazar Gardens, featuring Andalusian-style fountains and the sculpture of the Catholic Monarchs meeting Christopher Columbus.

After three to three and a half hours at these significant sites, our guided tour will conclude at the main entrance of the Alcazar.
