The Alcázar is a fortress-palace that reflects the layers of Córdoba’s history—from Roman and Visigothic to Islamic and Christian times. The current structure was extensively rebuilt in the 14th century under Alfonso XI, later serving as a residence of the Catholic Monarchs, and even as the seat of the Inquisition and a city prison. Four towers mark its corners, giving the fortress its distinctive silhouette. Inside, the Mudéjar-style Patio de Crucero features geometric water channels, fountains, and ancient remains. The gardens, lined with palms, cypresses, and orange trees, with long pools and fountains, offer one of Córdoba’s most beautiful walks. ※ Included in the Bono conjunto monumentos Córdoba

Amazing garden, many different trees, seating places with shadow from hot 🌞 sun. Very relaxing and quite place to escape from croudly tourist streets. Unfortunately castle is closed... but was nice to walk around.

Fabulous Alcazar Delightful visit for the family, we enjoyed wandering around these beautiful historical gardens. The gardens & fountains are absolutely beautiful and look very grand. We also like seeing the ruins and the inside of the building. This is certainly one of the must see places in Cordoba.

The castle (AND several fountains) are under maintenance. Entry to the gardens is free. Some areas are accessible for wheelchair users but they are not indicated. There's no map with wheelchair accessible routes available either

It is a very amazing and beautiful place. You are able to explore the ruins of the alcazar where you are able to climb the tower and get a gorgeous view of the gardens and the city. Speaking of the gardens, they are magnificent and gorgeous. They are a must-see if you are passing by or just enjoy a gorgeous garden. It normally isn’t too crowded so it’s a perfect place to visit when you have free time.
