Cordoba today is a city of immense monumental wealth, having been declared a part of Humanity's Heritage in 1994, with art and history to be found in every alleyway, patio and square. The city is best known for its Mosque, a unique building which tells of the splendour of this one-time Caliphate, though we must not forget the Cathedral, the Fortress of the Christian Monarchs (Alcázar de los Reyes Cristianos), the Roman Bridge and the Albolafia, La Calahorra Tower, the Jewish Quarter, the patios, El Potro Square and the myriad of other charms and locations that Cordoba has to offer.
The outskirts are home to other places of immense interest, such as the ruins of Medina Azahara, a former palace-city; Saint Jerome of Valparaíso Monastery and Chapels, located among mountain peaks and an ideal place to relax. All of this, plus other attractions such as excellent tourist facilities and delicious cuisine.
