Mosque-Cathedral & Alcázar Guided Tour

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

During our tour, we'll visit extensions ordered by emirs such as Abderramán III and Alhakén II. Walking through the iconic forest of columns, we'll reach the mihrab, the horseshoe-arched prayer niche decorated with details.

We'll also visit the nave of the transept before heading to the Alcázar de los Reyes Cristianos. There, we'll review the history of this medieval fortress and see some remains from Roman times.

Inside the Alcázar, we'll visit the Hall of the Mosaics and explore the Alcázar Gardens, including the sculpture of the Catholic Monarchs meeting Christopher Columbus.

After 3 to 3.5 hours of discovering two of Córdoba's essential sites, our guided tour will conclude at the main entrance of the Alcázar.

Important Info

Please note that from July 2 to September 12, due to structural reform inside the Alcázar, access to the rooms under construction will be restricted. As an alternative, we'll explore its historic gardens and the Monolito de Cristóbal Colón. The experience will also include a visit to the Caliphal Baths.
