This is the tour to learn where the power from different communities has been settled for ages in such a historically important city: from Romans to the Christian rule, including the presence of Visigoths, Muslims & Jews. From the ancient Rome to the modern times, this place is the exact spot where this power resided: inside the castle of the most important State in Europe's Middle Ages: Al-Ándalus State. On this experience, we'll visit the only European Caliphate private baths, the place where the Caliph of Córdoba was doing his mandatory ablutions as to prepare himself to address the world from arguably the most-impressive mosque ever made on Earth. You'll be able to see a physical mix of archaeological remains where more than 2000 years are together in a single spot. We'll also access the Alcázar of Córdoba, the fortress where all Christian Kings had been living including Isabella & Ferdinand as well as the headquarters of the Spanish Inquisition for centuries. Customizable itinerary:
-We'll start by visiting the private Caliphate baths of Córdoba, a place put into value a few years ago that talks both about the regular baths in the Islamic world and the private life of the Caliph. -We'll proceed to cover the ruler's personal area plus the extended rooms made for family members & beauty/health purposes. -Right after, we'll go to the Alcázar of Córdoba to understand how the building evolved in time. We'll discover a well preserved Roman sarcophagus next to the bust of the writer & philosopher Séneca. -We'll then get into the Mosaic Hall where we'll find exposed fine, unique Roman floor mosaics to learn about the housing & cultural topics of this culture. -Some remains of Inquisitorial cells wait for us next; a great moment to unveil what's true or not from this institution. -We'll finish in the flower gardens the building presents, where Catholic Kings & Columbus statues will allow us to describe America's European discovery. You can stay in the gardens or climb the towers afterwards!
