Roman Catholic church that was once a mosque. Blending many architectural styles, the structure evolved over the centuries.
Reviewed By SeeTheWorld4Peace - Manasquan, New Jersey
I was not prepared for the extent of the place, nor the rather smooth way that the Cathedral was inserted into the mosque while only destroying the innermost part. Both are quite spectacular, and the combo is very intriguing. It is amazing what constructions by both the Moslems and Christians can be inspired by religion, and executed by dictators.

The guide is actually a local historian and has an amazing knowledge of the Anis industry in Rute. The tour is conducted in Spanish and takes some time as he will give very detailed explanations about all the local and national products. Worth it but need to be patient and speak Spanish.

Its good the Christian "reconquerors" left most of the Muslim parts of this mosque alone and simply converted it to a Cathedral. So its an excellent mix of architectures, basically Moorish but with Christian alters and chapels all around the sides. I see another reviewer thought this was a separate building to the main Mezquita Cathedral but when I checked the map it certainly seems to be the same because we walked all around it.

We really enjoyed a day 8n Cordoba old town centre. The obvious highkight is the Mesquita Cathedral but another highlight was just aimlessly ambling throygh the little alleys, hidden plazas and backstreets around it.
Loads of lovely little curiosity shops, eateries and bars to call into. It is much less crowded than say, Seville or Malaga and while I wouldn't go so far as to say we had the place to ourselves or anything, it was far less busy and rushed.
Some beautiful buildings and churches. A lovely place to spend a day.

I didn't really know what to expect, but these little gems are really worthwhile visiting. The owners of these patios have worked really hard to present them in their best possible light. Some just have flowers presented nicley up the walls, some have little historical touchs to let you know how things would have been years ago. What they all had in common were very beautiful nativity cenes.Well worth the 5 Euros!

Priego is a wonderful town to visit, with something for everyone. A great shopping street with plenty of local shops, a gothic style church, a castle, and the old barrio, complete with mirador, or viewpoint. This is built on the ramparts overlooking a fertile valley and the surrounding countryside, and the view is fascinating.
Plenty of narrow streets to discover, an Arab baths to visit, a beautiful park with Fountains and interesting buildings everywhere you look.
Young and old alike will love Priego.

We really wanted to see this.
The parking lot at the base of rhetoric hill is too far for some people to walk. The road up is 1 1/2 lanes wide, with no guard rail. Cars start parking about 1/ 2 way m up. There was a traffic person near the top.
They should operate similar to Neuschwanstein in Germany. Close the road and provide a shuttle at an extra cost; with the option that those who don't want to pay can walk.
We were very disappointed.

We own seven Patios that make up the Route of the Patios of Alcazar Viejo. We have created this path so the visitor can enjoy the patios of Cordoba during much of the year and so, to finance their maintenance. Thank you for visiting.

Translated from Spanish, “the patios of the old alcazar” feature a stunning array of potted plants adorning stucco walls. This “patio” is what many may call a courtyard, and it’s at the Alcazar—the Moorish name for fortress. It’s a block from the Synagogue (Sinagoga), and inside a wall that has virtually no identification. It’s easily overlooked, so take care when walking. You may miss one of Córdoba’s most astounding sights.
When I saw several people manually watering each plant with extension pipes and squeezing water from a bulb, I learned a lesson. Three times a day a small amount of water is used for each pot. Water in an arid climate is scarce, so plants are not doused with garden hoses. This made me appreciate how much water Westerners waste—and how much care is rendered for each plant. I recall my grandmother half a century ago carrying a bucket of water and ladling water on each plant. Seems rural North Carolina in the late 1950s had much in common with tradition in Córdoba.
