Cordoba, a city in southern Spain, is the capital of the former Andalusia region, located in the foothills of the Morena Mountains, on the banks of the Guadalquivir River. The historic center of Córdoba retains its medieval plan and the peculiar layout of its narrow streets, where squares, avenues, beautiful pools and elaborate gardens are subtly integrated into the urban landscape. The city was built along the meandering banks of the river. The Roman bridge has historically provided access to a wide area and is a reminder to this day how important the location of Córdoba is. Like the layout of the city, the local architecture of Córdoba reminds us of the days of Moorish rule. Beyond the houses built around the fenced courtyard, various monuments bear witness to the various historical periods of the city: the remains of the Roman Empire, the Moorish minaret and gate of Almodóvar, the synagogue, and various Christian monuments Architecture, including the reconstructed Alcal, Calahorra tower, numerous Mudar churches and masterpieces of Gothic architecture. The Mosque-Cathedral and the Roman Bridge are the main symbols of the historical city.
