    Full description

    Discover the history and architecture of the Mosque-Cathedral and Alcazar of Christian Monarchs on this guided tour. Save time while visiting the popular Alcazar with skip-the-line tickets. 

    Begin your tour in the Courtyard of the Orange Trees at the entrance of the bell tower of the Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba. Enter the Mosque-Cathedral and be amazed by the blending of the two distinct religious cultures of Islam and Christianity.

    As you walk through the building learn about its long history, how it was built between the 8th and 16th-centuries, and its past as first a mosque and now a cathedral. Spend approximately an hour and 15 minutes in the Mosque-Cathedral.

    Afterward, head to the Alcazar of the Catholic Monarchs, skip the line to enter and spend about an hour here. Discover how the old palace was built in the 14th-century to conquer the last Arabic Kingdom of the Iberian Peninsula. 

    End your tour in the marvelous gardens of the Alcazar where you can take as many pictures as you want.

    The visit to the mosque was great, Michelangelo Nis explained everything in great detail on a historical and architectural level, he was also very nice. The visit to Alcanzar lowered its level, but not because of the guide, but because the monument has many areas that can be visited, even so Miguel Ángel made it very enjoyable.

    A very interesting visit with an adorable and exceptional guide in terms of her comments. Just a small downside: the start of the activity started almost 15 minutes late. This is unpleasant for people who, as requested by GetYourGuide, arrive about twenty minutes before the start of the activity. The departure time should be strictly respected.

    Welcome by Christina who is a fantastic, funny guide who makes you want to come to Cordoba. We had a good time in front of all its wonders with an explanation always very appreciated in impeccable French. Christina made us want to come back to see her and see Cordoba another time.
