Prepare yourself for an exploration of Cordoba, a city steeped in diverse cultural influences from Muslim, Christian, and Jewish traditions that lend it a unique charm.
In this experience, you'll journey back to the Al-Andalus era, visiting the crowning glory of the Muslim occupation - the magnificent Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba. With expert historians as your guides, prepare to be awestruck by the splendid architecture of this monument, recognised as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Seize the chance to delve into a living temple that has borne witness to countless historical events.
Uncover tales from its inception as a Visigoth church, where the Catholic Basilica of Saint Vincent of Lérins once stood, through to the construction of the Mosque in 784 under the orders of Abd al-Rahman I. The narrative continues up to the Reconquista period when the edifice was transformed into a Catholic church, culminating with the addition of a Renaissance cathedral nave in the 16th century.
Following this initial exploration, you'll discover the Jewish quarter. Here, you'll have the opportunity to visit the impressive Synagogue, the Craftsmen's Souk, and the Monument to Maimonides.
To round off your tour, don’t pass up on immersively experiencing Andalusian tradition by savourin a typical tapa paired with a refreshing beer. This is truly a multicultural adventure not to be missed!
