The Mezquita-Catedral was later extended to include the entire historic centre of Córdoba, Medina-Azahara and Festival de los Patios, making Córdoba the proud owner of more World Heritage Sites than any other city in the world.
Various influences can be seen in the city’s architecture, such as the Alcázar and the Roman bridge, which have been renovated or restored over time by its inhabitants.
Córdoba is renowned for its network of streets, alleys, squares and whitewashed courtyards, as well as its vibrant art, culture and leisure scene.
Residents and visitors alike can enjoy a range of cultural events, such as flamenco festivals, concerts and ballet, alongside an array of museums and nightlife.
