It is the most representative building in Córdoba and, for this reason, it was named the Cathedral of Santa María de Córdoba and is currently a Mosque-Cathedral. The Mosque reflects the splendor of an era. On this same land, the Visigothic basilica of San Vicente was first built. As the Muslim empire gained power, the basilica was destroyed to make way for this magnificent monument
The Jewish quarter
The city of Córdoba preserves a Jewish quarter, located in the historic center, much visited by all travelers. The entire neighborhood of La Judería is a set of labyrinthine streets with an Islamic layout that sometimes end in typical dead-end alleys or wall walks. It was the neighborhood where the Jews lived at the time when Córdoba sheltered inhabitants of three different religions: Christian, Jewish and Muslim.
It is located northeast of the Mosque and, among its streets, we can locate monuments such as the Synagogue, the Bullfighting Museum or the Municipal Souk. The Synagogue dates from the Medieval Era (14th century) and is the third best-preserved synagogue in Spain. It is worth visiting.
