Occupied as early as Roman times, Córdoba reached its splendor during the Muslim presence in Spain. In the 10th century, the city had a million inhabitants, making it the largest city in the world. If you are wondering what to see in Córdoba, you have come to the right place.
Córdoba has some extraordinary cultural wonders. The most famous of these sights is its mosque-cathedral, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1984. In 1994, UNESCO also added Córdoba’s historic center to its World Heritage List.
Córdoba is a great pit-stop between Madrid and Seville. It is well connected to both cities by high-speed train.

Hello Tony and Cecilia.
First of all thank you very much for your videos, they are great and I use them every time while travelling to Spain or Portugal as a source of very helpful information. Recently just came back from Cordoba and wanted to share one of the great culinary discovery there, Heladeria Piacerino just off the Plaza de las Tendillas. Great place, great taste of the product there, plenty of different flavours. You can say these Ice creams are made with passion and if you are lucky enough you can even see the production process:) I think it’s a must place to go if you around the area.
Regards, Bart 😊
Hello Bart, hope you had a great time in wonderful Córdoba. Thanks a lot for the ice-cream tip, we’ll try it next time we visit Córdoba! All the best!
