The Best Free tour of Córdoba
Discover the history of Córdoba on our acclaimed Free Tour, considered the best in the city. Guided by official tour guides, we will embark on a journey through the various historical phases of Caliphal Córdoba, from its Roman splendor as an imperial capital, through the brief yet significant Visigothic period, to its peak during the Muslim era, exemplified by architectural masterpieces like the unparalleled Mosque-Cathedral. We will explore the Alcázar of the Christian Monarchs, a witness to the Christian conquest and turbulent episodes such as the Inquisition. The successive plagues that marked the peninsula also left their mark on the city, closely tied to the cult of San Rafael. We will advance towards modern times starting from the iconic Plaza de las Tendillas, without forgetting the profound Jewish influence on the urban layout, Córdoba’s synagogue, and cultural aspects that have shaped who we are today. Our tour through the Jewish Quarter will not only reveal its intricate maze of winding streets and whitewashed patios but also allow us to delve into the Patio Festival, an event far removed from the crowded scenes often portrayed in the media. Discover why this celebration is much more than geraniums in blue pots and why it is recognized as an Intangible Cultural Heritage by UNESCO.
