Tour the 12th-century Islamic architecture that adorns the historic city center at Calahorra Tower. Originally constructed by the Moors to protect the city from invasion, the tower is now the site of a museum dedicated to the history of Córdoba and Moorish culture. Browse the many Al-Andalus artifacts housed in the museum or climb to the top of the tower for sprawling views of the city and the Guadalquivir river. Walk along the ancient Roman bridge connecting the tower and the city.

  Visite libre avec audio guide obligatoire en français sur l’histoire de Cordoue. Maquette de la Mezquita. Point de vue intéressant sur la ville quand, comme nous, vous n’avez pas pu monter au minaret....  more »

  Free tour with mandatory audio guide in French on the history of Cordoba. Model of the Mezquita. Interesting point of view about the city when, like us, you could not climb to the minaret. The whole is quite heterogeneous, but interesting. Good start to the center of Cordoba by the Roman bridge. It's easy to park for free on this side of town.
