The best places and cities to visit in Spain
Cordoba
From the Roman Conquest to the Renaissance Era, Cordoba’s strategic location on the Guadalquivir River made it one of the country’s most important cities. Cordoba is a treasure trove of cultural and archeological wonders, with beautiful examples from every epoch in Spain’s long history. Stand-out attractions include the famous Mezquita mosque built in 786, the medieval Jewish quarter and the Madinat Al-Zahra, a pleasure palace located in the nearby foothills of the Sierra Morena built by a caliph for his favorite concubine in 936.
