Visiting the Mosque–Cathedral of Córdoba was truly an unforgettable experience. The moment I stepped inside, I was amazed by the breathtaking forest of red-and-white arches—so unique and unlike anything I’ve seen before. The blend of Islamic and Christian architecture is stunning, and you can feel the history in every corner of the building. It’s definitely a must-visit in Córdoba. I highly recommend going early in the morning to enjoy the quiet atmosphere before the crowds.

The Alcázar of the Christian Monarchs in Córdoba is a historic gem, blending Moorish, Gothic, and Renaissance influences. Its stunning gardens, imposing towers, and rich history make it a must-visit. Once a royal residence and tribunal for the Spanish Inquisition, it now offers breathtaking views and fascinating artifacts. The mosaics and Roman ruins inside add to its charm. A perfect spot for history lovers and photographers alike, this landmark is a testament to Spain’s layered past. Highly re

The Roman Bridge, an ancient and striking landmark of Cordoba, spans the Guadalquivir River and connects the old and new city. The 238-meter-long and 16-meter-wide 16-hole stone arch bridge was first built in the Roman era (around the 1st century AD), and was expanded in the Moorish era (after the 8th century AD) to form its current size. It was repaired many times from the 13th to the 19th century and is still in use today. Wandering along the river, looking from afar - the old and strong stone bridge and the elegant and majestic skyline of the old city on the north bank complement each other; looking closely - the bridge piers and arches retain the marks of a thousand years, demonstrating the wisdom of our ancestors (the water-facing side of the bridge piers is pointed and the back-water side is round, which not only reduces the impact of the river on the bridge piers, but also slows down the erosion of the riverbed by the water flow). Strolling across the bridge, the square stone slab bridge deck and solid concrete bridge railings are 80% new; in the middle of the bridge, the white statue of the patron saint of Cordoba - the Angel of Saint Raphael is enshrined, which is also a sight.

In Cordoba, a southern city in Spain, there are many streets and alleys with blooming flowers, and the most famous one is the Alley of Flowers. The alleys around the Great Mosque are densely packed and winding. From the main road outside the north wall of the Great Mosque, walk into an alley for nearly 50 meters to find the entrance of the Alley of Flowers. The alley is about 1.5 meters wide and less than 100 meters long, with residential courtyards on both sides lined up; at the end of the alley is a rectangular square (the alley is a dead end), surrounded by exquisite and gorgeous souvenir shops. Compared with many nearby alleys, the scenery is similar but different. Same - white walls stand across the alley, rows of blue pots hang against the wall, and clusters of flowers bloom gorgeously. Different - walk into the depths of the alley, look back and see the beauty of the tower of the Great Mosque between the swaying flowers, revealing the heroic figure of the tower of the Great Mosque, a classic match, a well-deserved Cordoba tourism business card.

Palacio de Viana (Viana Palace), also known as the Garden Museum, is a beautiful place to visit and take photos. The original building was built 500 years ago as a noble manor. After generations of expansion, it has 12 gardens of various sizes. It was bought by a public enterprise in 1980 and opened to the public. It is about a 10-minute walk from Tendillas Square in the city center and about a 17-minute walk from the Grand Mosque. The ticket for visiting the courtyard is 5 euros, and it is open for free for a few hours a week.

I really can't stand the robot comments here... The square is very large, located in the north of the old city, not far from the train station. There are some modern businesses and restaurants around it, and there is a tourist information center on the south side.

We didn't know it existed but once directed there [it's usually open in the cooler weather] it's a fascinating place for anyone who loves history and archaeology. The museum itself is fascinating, with lively exhibits explaining how the place was built and decorated and used. Then a bus takes you on a short tour of the site, which has a wide valley with beautiful views everywhere. If you've been to Knossos in Crete you'll enjoy this type of tour. If not, just wander around and admire this ancient place, which was buried under tons of earth not long ago.
