CÓRDOBA
Cordoba is a town with an impressive cultural heritage. Founded as Corduba by the Romans, in the 1st Century B.C. in the margins of the river Guadalquivir, it is a city built on the legacy of different cultures. Former capital of the Umayyad caliphate in the Iberian Peninsula, it became one of the largest cities in the world in the 10th Century. The historic centre is a walk to its splendorous past, and the Mosque-Cathedral a remarkable space which explains the history of the Spanish architecture in one building. A beautiful city to get lost in its little narrow white streets.
