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.

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.
