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 its interior.

This historic place of worship, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, features extensions ordered by emirs like Abderramán III and Alhakén II. Visitors will walk through the iconic forest of columns to reach the mihrab, a horseshoe-arched prayer niche adorned with intricate details.

Next, we will visit the transept's nave before heading to the Alcazar of the Christian Monarchs. Here, we'll explore the history of this medieval fortress and view some remains from Roman times.

Inside the Alcazar, we'll examine the Hall of the Mosaics, which previously housed a chapel from the Spanish Inquisition, followed by a tour of the Alcazar Gardens. These gardens feature Andalusian-style fountains and a sculpture of the Catholic Monarchs meeting Christopher Columbus.

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