The Alcazar

The next stop is the charming Alcazar, the Alcazar served as a court, fortress and a palace. Today it is a historical monument.

Mezquita

At the end of the tour, you walk by the famous Mezquita, a huge, elegant cathedral in the historical city center of Cordoba, built between 756 and 788. Before the Mezquita became a cathedral in 1236, it functioned as a mosque. Therefore it carries the name Mezquita, which means Mosque in Spanish. The Mezquita is a unique monument with a bell tower, 860 marble pillars, and a beautiful dome inside the cathedral. During several renovations over the past centuries, Moorish and Christian elements were added. To find more information about the Mezquita and its accessibility, read this blog post.
