Mention Cordoba to anyone who has previously visited and most will say, \u201cvisit Mezquita.\u201d The building itself is enough of a reason to come here. If you can, try to stay for longer. Seriously, it\u2019ll be worth your time and energy. For although Mezquita is more than worth the visit, Cordoba can offer plenty of other top attractions and experiences<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s no getting away from the fact that this city is an Andalusian gem. Let\u2019s look at Cordoba’s top things to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Mezquita<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Ok, so we\u2019re going to start our tour of Cordoba at Mezquita. Well, it\u2019s for a good reason, after all. This is one of the world\u2019s great Islamic buildings. Serene, on the one hand (remarkable when you think of the tourist numbers that visit) and lusciously decorated. From the beautiful courtyard with orange palm trees and fountains, your introduction to the place, to the buildings and interiors. Dazzled and delighted are words that spring to mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s the Bell tower to climb. It\u2019s only 54m high so not too bad on the legs! There\u2019s the Mezquita interior to take in, the striped arches and ornate columns for one. In fact, everywhere you look, there are signs from across the ages, influences that reach beyond just Islamic culture and design. Mezquita is a special place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Other top places to visit<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

So, you\u2019ve visited the city\u2019s top attraction, but don\u2019t go wandering off to other parts of Spain just yet! There is plenty more to see and do here. Even wandering through the old city and its winding streets of stone offer enjoyment and surprises. Those hidden plazas and little friendly cafes will add to your experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of the other places of interest, you should check out will include these key attractions: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Palacio de Viana (Palace of Vianna)<\/li>
  • Alcazar of Cordoba \u2013 fort\/palace<\/li>
  • Puente Romano – a 16 arched Roman bridge<\/li>
  • Centro Flamenco Fosforito \u2013 A flamenco museum<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    You\u2019ll soon discover when exploring that there are many gateways, churches and a synagogue to add to these attractions listed. Choices are plenty in this city, and they all add extra special elements to exploring Cordoba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    The Jewish Quarter<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \"The<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    If visiting the Mezquita wasn\u2019t enough, Cordoba\u2019s Jewish Quarter, in the historic centre, is a lovely area to stroll through. Its traditional urban layout of a medieval Islamic city will delight anyone who enjoys the wonders of wandering! The labyrinth of smaller streets is a joy to discover. Full of vibrant colours. Highlighting once again Cordoba\u2019s rich tapestry of cultures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Cordoba may not keep hold of its visitors, other than to stop off and explore Mezquita, but that means those tourists are missing out. There is much to enjoy in this city that was once the Islamic capital of Spain. Spend time here and you won\u2019t regret it.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
