Discover Cordoba
The mighty Roman Empire established Cordoba around the time that it became clear that inland Andalusia could be reached by way of the navigable Guadalquivir River. Today, only three of the thirteen gates of the original ancient Roman walls are still standing. Despite its auspicious start, Cordoba didn’t reach its prime until the 10th century AD, during the time of Muslim domination in Iberia. And what a heyday it was! Draped in splendor, Cordoba became one of the political, cultural and economic leaders of the world. Due to this strategic importance, Cordoba seemed the logical place to build a very large mosque—a primer for those who intended to make the haj to Mecca. Astonishingly, when Catholicism rose to overthrow the power of Islam, rather than destroying the mosque, the Catholic Church simply built a cathedral inside it. So, today, you will enter a forest of columns that belong to the mosque and discover in their midst a Catholic cathedral—this is a stunning and bizarre piece of art and architecture and its impact is not to be missed. Complete your time in Cordoba with a walking tour through the Jewish Quarter, where the narrow and winding streets hide many important and traditional buildings. Your guide will point out the Mudejar Synagogue and the quarter’s many references to water—Arabian engineering was crucial for the development of the area’s supply. Lunch will be served at a local restaurant before you return to Málaga.
