Full description

Discover the fort-cum-palace of the Catholic kings on a guided tour of Cordoba’s Alcazar. Built on the remains of Moorish palace, the Alcazar has been witness to dozens of historical events of great importance. Follow in the footsteps of Christopher Columbus, who met Fernando and Isabel here in 1486. Learn about its time as the headquarters of the Spanish Inquisition. Stroll through remarkable rooms, such as the Salón de los Mosaicos (Hall of Mosaics). See the crenellated towers, and the Patio Morisco baths with their Moorish motifs. Climb the tower for panoramic views of the gardens. Then, take a stroll through the landscaped gardens to see features such as pools, fish ponds, fountains and orange trees.

We came for the gardens and were not disappointed -- they are stunning. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable, although she spoke a bit quickly for us. The unexpected bonus was the gorgeous mosaic floors recovered from unearthed Roman ruins and painstakingly mounted on the walls inside the alcazar. Our guide explained the "legends" behind each work.

What a stunning place to see! We had a wonderful Tour Guide, Maria, who gave us a lot of information, answered our questions and was very funny. She wasn't in a hurry, was patient with our hundreds of pictures and also took pictures of my husband and I. Definitely recommend seeing the Alcázar, worth your time and money. We went in January and even though it was cold, we had the sun shining and were able to enjoy the place more as it wasn't packed.
