The Palace of Cordoba

The Alcazar of the Christian Monarchs is located at Plaza Campo Santo de los Martires, s/n 14004 in the historic centre of Cordoba. The outdoor area of the Alcazar is situated within the wall of four towers ( Homage, Lions, Inquisition and Dove ). The main hall of the building constructed in the 18th century, is referred to as the Hall of Monsaics. The Monsaics show here was discovered at the Plaza de la Corredera. A set of gardens and orchids have existed here since the 10th century. Today the gardens consist of an impressive area of approximately 55k meter square, which surrounds a number of elegant ponds and fountains. The Palace was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994.
