The seat of the independent Caliphate. It was during the 10th Century the most densely populated city of the old Continent and its splendour dazzled geographers, chroniclers and travellers alike. Abderrahman 1st initiated in the 8th Century the construction of the Aljama Mosque, one of the most emblematic buildings of Islamic Art. Extended on various occasions, for the last time by Almanzor on the 10th Century. It is a fascinating building which offers surprising light and colour effects as well as beautiful doors and nearly a thousands columns. The Cathedral of Gothic, Baroque and Plateresque elements was built inside in the 16th Century.
This walking tour shows The Mosque, The “Juderia” (Jewish Quarter), with its Synagogue, situated near “La Aljama” district and
The Alcazar (of the Christian Kings) featuring a castle with its delightful gardens and a Moorish bathhouse. This is a very popular monument. The castle is almost a perfect square in plan of 4.100 square metres. It was rebuilt in 1327 by King Alfonso XI. His aim was to bring European Gothic architecture to the town. The castle walls connect the four (now three) corner towers by walkways or allures protected by battlements with prism shaped blocks.
