Enjoy a sensory journey through Córdoba’s history, culture and local life.
Cordoba’s courtyards are one of the symbols of the city and the tradition of maintaining and caring for them has been passed down from generation to generation. On this Guided Tour of the Patios of Cordoba you will be amazed by the walls full of flowerpots and vines. The wrought iron latticed windows give a glimpse of the flowery world of the streets of Cordoba from the outside. The origin of this type of dwelling can be traced back to Roman influences, which passed through Christian remodelling, and which has survived to the present day.
These beautiful nooks and crannies are endless in the many well-kept streets of the city. The Cordoban house is the maximum domestic expression of the culture and tradition of the city, the courtyards inside are a sample of the care and taste that the owners conserve throughout the year.
This formidable cultural display of the Cordovan people in their homes is the result of the massive influx of people who moved from the countryside to the city after the Industrial Revolution. The reduced spaces, shared with other neighbours, meant that the common areas, such as the courtyard, were filled with a rich colourful plant decoration. The great variety of plants began to invade every space in these courtyards, making them reminiscent of the paradisiacal gardens inherited from Islamic culture.
With your Guided Tour of the Patios of Cordoba you will find a story behind each courtyard, its inhabitants and their ancestors, and a whole plant tour for the botany lover. Let yourself be surprised by the confluence of the senses of this tradition that has been declared Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO in 2012.
