Cordova: Guided Tour Of The Jewish Quarter And Alcazar De Los Reyes Cristianos With Tickets Included

Along with our guide, learn about all the Jewish and Christian cultures present for several centuries in our city.

We will visit the Alcázar de los Reyes Cristianos, a fortress built in the 14th century and chosen by numerous royal dynasties as a place to stay in Cordoba. The Catholic Monarchs spent long periods of time there, strolling through its gardens and there are numerous legends and curiosities of this time, as well as those related to Christopher Columbus, since here in this Alcázar he had several meetings with the Catholic Monarchs before arrival in America. Its gardens today remind us of these moments that occurred here: ponds, sculptures, light, color, smell…

Once inside, we can visit different rooms such as the Mozárabe Patio and the baths of Doña Leonor de Guzmán, of Arab inspiration. A fundamental place to visit is the Mosaic Hall, which exhibits a collection of original Roman mosaics as well as a magnificently preserved Roman sarcophagus and which will reveal the Roman and Visigoth past that this building hides.

The visit will continue with a walk through the Jewish Quarter. Streets, squares and cobblestone floors await us during this tour. You will be able to see famous figures such as that of Maimonides, beautiful squares such as that of Cardinal Salazar and its majestic buildings; the Souk of the Craftsmen, typical Cordovan patio where our guide will speak to them about them and their contest; And, of course, you can visit the Synagogue of Córdoba, one of the best preserved in all of Spain.
