Overview of your Crdoba tour:

CORDOBA - a remarkable city on the banks of the Guadalquivir river which is steeped in history, romance and intrigue. The Romans were here and the Visigoths, before the city was captured by Muslim forces in the year 712 AD and later became the capital of the Muslim empire in Europe in the year 750 AD. Cordoba was a city of enlightenment during the dark ages when Christian, Muslim, and Jewish populations lived in relative peace for over 300 years. It was finally re-conquered by the Christian king, Fernando III in 1236 and its 'Christian Alcazar' was completed during the reign of King Alfonso XI 90 years later in 1326. The most famous building in Cordoba has to be 'The Mezquita', the 500-year-old Catholic Cathedral built inside a 1200-year-old Mosque, which is quite rightly a World Heritage site of great acclaim. On this Tour, we will take half a day to stroll leisurely through the historic streets of Cordoba and you will have time to enter and enjoy all of its most important buildings and monuments.
