Cordoba - Andalucia
Cordoba, another of Andalucia´s special cities steeped with history. Founded by the Romans it later became one of the capitals of Muslim Spain. There is much to see here, the Real Alcazaba, palace of the catholic kings, statues of some of the great figures of the ancient world who came from Cordoba, including Seneca the Roman Senator and advisor to Emperor Nero.But Cordoba´s greatest treasure that really should not be missed is the Mezquita, the Arab Mosque, later converted to a Cathedral, with its hundreds of pillars supporting a vaulted roof. Painted in alternating red and white, it appears like a stone forest.Just outside Cordoba is the ruined Arab city of Medina Azahara also well worth a visit..More information and photos can be found on my Cordoba page.
