Córdoba’s Judería
With its narrow, winding streets, the judería – or Jewish quarter – is perhaps the most charming part of Córdoba’s historic centre. It’s made up of 12 few streets centred around Plaza Maimonides, Calle Judíos and Calle Tomás Conde.

As its name suggests, the Alcázar de los Reyes Cristianos (Castle of the Christian Monarchs) is largely the work of Córdoba’s Christian rulers, but it is built on top of earlier Roman and Muslim structures.
The idiosyncratic combination of Muslim and Christian religious architecture makes the Mezquita, as it is generally known, one of the world’s most remarkable and easily identifiable buildings. Together with the Alhambra, it is the outstanding example of Andalucía’s Islamic heritage, and no first visit to Córdoba would be complete without stepping inside.
