Guided Tour of the Mosque–Cathedral + Patios of Córdoba

The Mosque–Cathedral and the Patios of Córdoba, both UNESCO World Heritage Sites, reflect the city’s rich history. The former, with its imposing Islamic architecture and magnificent mihrab, remains one of the world’s most iconic monuments. The latter—spaces of art and nature—come alive each year during the Fiesta de los Patios.

An official guide will unveil the Mosque–Cathedral’s journey: from its 8th-century origins to its 16th-century conversion into a cathedral. After crossing the Orange Tree Courtyard, you will explore the prayer hall with its forest of columns and horseshoe arches, admire the mihrab, and visit the High Altar and Renaissance dome.

During the walk through the Patios, you will discover Córdoba’s essence: an expert guide will lead you through flower-filled patios and fountains, share their traditions, introduce you to their owners, and reveal the unique fusion of popular architecture and nature.

  • Immerse yourself in the majestic Mosque–Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage jewel.
  • Uncover the secrets of its evolution, from the 8th century to its Christian splendour.
  • Let yourself be captivated by the Córdoba patios, floral oases that blend tradition and nature.
