Córdoba shares its history with many cities in Southern Spain. It was Carthaginian and Roman (from 260BC on), later it belonged to the Byzantine Empire for two decades, was looted by the Vandals before the Visigoths conquered it in 572. In 711 it was taken by the by the Umayyad army and became a provincial capital.
At that time a Christian church erected by the Visigoths was on the site, it was divided and shared by Muslims and Christians. In 784 the Christian half was purchased by Emir Abd al-Rahman I, who then demolished the church and started to build the grand mosque of Córdoba on its ground. The Mezquita reached its current dimensions in 987 with the completion of the outer naves and courtyard. It covers an area of more than 23.000 m².
But there is much more than the breathtaking Mezquita.
The Plaza de las Tendillas has been known since the 14th century. The current dimensions of the square date from 1923. Most of the current buildings were built in this decade.
The Palacio Colomera was designed in 1928 by the architect Félix Hernández Giménez and erected for the Counts of Colomera. There has been a four-star hotel in the building since 2018.
