Description

Córdoba, also known as Cordova, is a city in Andalusia, Spain. Formerly one of the world's most populated countries, after a sharp decrease in population during the Renaissance, it is now a moderately sized city and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Human inhabitation of Córdoba can be traced back to 42 000 BCE. 

Once known as Qurtuba, it was the most important city in Al-Andalus. It was taken over by the Roman Empire and then became the capital of an Islamic Kingdom during the Middle Ages. Due to this, strong Muslim influence is clearly seen throughout the city. Córdoba became a centre of education under the Muslim rulers, who built countless libraries, schools and universities. Today, Córdoba is considered one of Europe’s Intellectual Centres.

Córdoba offers a number of attractions to fascinate first-time visitors. Popular places-of-interest include the Great Cordoba Mosque, Alcazar de los Reyes Cristianos, Roman Bridge, Medina Azahara, Jewish Quarter, Palacio de Viana, Museo de Bellas Artes, Julio Romero de Torres Museum, Palacio de la Merced and the Archaeological Museum. 

Nearby Airports

Located around 6 kilometers away, Cordoba Airport is a medium-sized airport serving 2.2 million passengers per year. If you prefer to go with a major airport, travelers can reach Cordoba through the Seville Airport, which is located around a 1-hour drive away.

Halal Restaurants

Córdoba is home to a fair share of Halal restaurants. Boasting various cuisines, here are a few restaurants that you must try:

  • Bocaíto Andalusí (Moroccan-Middle Eastern)
  • Noor Restaurant (Andalusi)

Mosques

In addition to the Great Mosque of Cordoba (which has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site), Córdoba is home to a few mosques. Visitors can go to The Andalusians Mosque, which is located inside a 12th-century building. However, it is small and is not active at all praying hours; when it is closed, travelers can have their prayers at the Petra Tearoom's prayer space.
