TOURIST ATTRACTIONS OF CORDOBA
Torre de la Calahorra
The tower of Calahorra was built by the Moors as is
the oldest existing defense building in Cordoba. The
spectacular frontage of the tower is also enhanced by
the museum inside which is of particular interest to
tourists. The museum collects, preserves, and exhibits
artifacts and documents of the rich Cordoban history
that is characterized by the peaceful coexistence of
Jews, Muslims, and Christians over centuries.

The Cordoba synagogue is of absolute rarity because
of the fact that is the only one in all of Andalusia
and one of three in Spain. The beautiful interiors and
the walls that are covered with rich white Mudéjar
style decoration and Hebrew inscriptions along with
the entrance gate is worth seeing.

of Islam and Christianity and is the largest temple
in the world with huge dimensions of 24000 sq. kms and
having 856 columns made up of granite, jasper and other

Renaissance domes, and baroque altar vaults
