Enthousiaste gids. Hij wist vanwege zijn studie veel te vertellen. Misschien wel goed om meetingpoint juister te vermelden. Dus niet bij de nieuwe hoofdingang, maar aan de achterzijde.

Located on the banks of the beautiful Guadalquivir River, the Alcázar of the Christian Monarchs is one of the many brilliant monuments within the historic city of Córdoba. Since it is situated in the heart of the historic city of Córdoba, it served as the seat of Spanish power in various eras. Your guide will tell you fascinating tales of how the Alcázar was used by famous monarchs such as Isabella I of Castille and Ferdinand II of Aragon. From the early Roman era to the reign of the Spanish Inquisition, the sights inside the V reflect the diverse historical influences.

Once inside, follow your guide through the dizzying labyrinth of corridors, palatial rooms, and towers. You will see the famous Roman Harbour, Visigothic Residence, Islamic Alcázar, Christian Fortress, and the harrowing Inquisitorial Prison. Bask in the heady perfumes that waft through the air in the heavenly gardens that adorn the exterior. You will also visit one of the most unique hammams (Turkish Baths) in the region. Discover the intriguing secrets of this amazing monument on this tour.
