Captivating Cordoba Patio Flower Festival

Cordoba is steeped in over 2,000 years of history.  The Patio contests are sponsored by the Córdoba City Hall and began in 1918.

due to a hot, dry climate homes were built with a central patio even in the days of the Romans and planting them out helped keep the area cool.

The Magestic Mezquita of Cordoba

Dates back to the 10th century. It includes within its walls a Christian church, previously a roman temple. The columns and the pillars were all recycled, borrowed from the ruins of Gothic churches and Roman buildings. The Mezquita continued to be built for the next 2 hundred years. The original design with horseshoe arches in red and white resemble the roman aqueduct in Merida, near Cordoba.

Stunning Sevilla

Sevilla known for its Moorish palaces and Renaissance gardens, is a beautiful and ancient city on the banks of the Guadalquivir River and is Spain’s 4th largest city. The Romans governed the whole of Spain for more than six centuries. Their first colony was Italica , only 9 kilometers from Sevilla and its ruins are well preserved and today a tourist attraction. A boat trip is also a great way to see the city.
