About Córdoba

Córdoba was the capital of Islamic Al-Andalus and one of the largest cities in medieval Europe. Its great Mosque-Cathedral began in the 8th century and was later converted to a cathedral. The historic centre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, holds the Roman bridge, Jewish Quarter and the famous flower-filled patios.

TravelDaddy verdictOne of Europe's richest historic centres, in a day.

A practical first trip balances the must-sees with one unscheduled half-day.
