Cordoba Guided Tour + Mosque Entrance
Tour Description
At the indicated time, we'll meet in central Cordoba and embark on a tour of the world-famous Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba.
Once we're ready, we'll make our way to the stunning Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba. We'll wander through the halls packed with columns as we learn about Abd al-Rahman I. Responsible for founding the Muslim dynasty of Iberia and commissioning the construction of the religious site in the 8th century.
Next, we'll admire the artwork and architecture of the mosque’s dome and mihrab, the most sacred part of the mosque. We'll discover the splendour of the Muslim dynasty during the reign of Abd al-Rahman III and how it was transformed into a Roman Catholic Cathedral when the city was conquered by King Ferdinand III of Castile.
After visiting the Mosque-Cathedral, we'll set off on a walking tour of Cordoba’s Jewish Quarter. The city, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, houses a charming Jewish Quarter with whitewashed houses.
During your walking tour of the Jewish Quarter, you'll visit the Synagogue of Cordoba, one of the three Medieval Jewish temples that still stand in Spain.
Finally, after 2.5 hours, we'll bring the tour to an end at the same starting point, or if you'd prefer, you can continue to discover the Jewish Quarter at your own leisure.
