Description

"Mosque of Cordoba and Alcazar" is the ideal tour guide for those who want to know two of the main monuments of Cordoba in a short time. Carried out by historians.
Guided visit dedicated to Cordoba's flagship monument, the Mosque-Cathedral, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. In this visit, always conducted by a historian, you will have the opportunity to know a living temple, which has witnessed numerous historical events and that, surely, will not leave you indifferent. We will explain the different stages of construction, starting with the ancient Visigothic Basilica of San Vicente, of which remains are still preserved, followed by the Primitive Mosque built by the Emir Abderramán I and its successive extensions until the time of Almanzor. After the reconquest of the city by the Christian armies, the Mosque became a Cathedral, occupying several naves of the extension of the Caliph al-Hakam II for liturgical celebrations. Later on, the current Cathedral Cruise-ship was built. Enjoy a unique building in the world and an unforgettable experience.

The Alcazar of the Christian Kings is one of the most important and visited monuments in Cordoba. Discover from the hand of historians a building witness of historical events, home of the Catholic Monarchs for more than 8 years, inquisitorial headquarters, prison ... Stroll through its famous gardens next to the monument to the first royal reception to Christopher Columbus.
