Visit to a magnificent site with a brilliant guide who was able to tell us all about the history of this building in a very short time, with passion, without whom we would have missed the highlights of its construction. We were lucky not to have too many people inside.

This experience is perfect for students... but for people who do tourism, they should give a booklet with the explanation given by the guide, because the girl knew all the information very well by hand, and although she said at the beginning that she spoke very fast... she gave a lot of information, a lot, so quickly, that when she finished, little you retained in your mind... with some complementary document, giving it at the beginning of the visit... would be much better, the visit would be much more documented.

The Guide has been to take off his hat: I told him so at the time. A very didactic exposition, because he contextualized, rigorously, the narration and historico-artistic description, and, above all, the attempt to emphasize the respect for harmonizing both cultures, as denoted by the successive reforms of the Mosque-Cathedral.

Visit a bit long (4h), not easy to follow and stay focused for so long; the guide was professional and very nice but with a flow and an accent that sometimes hindered our understanding; too much information in 4h. I don't recommend the 3 activities (alcazar, Jewish quarter and mosque); in my opinion, only the last 2 are of interest, so a 2h30 visit is preferable.

The visit went very well, but your guides need a bit more training. For example, our guide told us (twice) that the church in the mosque-cathedral was facing Jerusalem.... Churches are not oriented towards Jerusalem but towards the East, the rising sun, which refers to the risen Christ. (This is not to be confused with the orientation of mosques). Furthermore, he did not show us the Visigoth remains of the church on which the mosque was built. What a pity.

Cordoba Mosque tour highlights

Córdoba Mosque tours

The Bell Tower

Originally built as a minaret, the iconic 54-meter tall Bell Tower offers breathtaking views of Córdoba. Transformed after the Christian takeover in 1236, it was rebuilt following earthquake damage in 1589, using bells from Santiago de Compostela Cathedral. Each of the bells has its own name! These bells also gesture inscriptions with unique engravings. Make sure you don’t miss this highlight!

Córdoba Mosque tours

The Court of Oranges

The mosque's entrance, known as the Court of Oranges (Patio de los Naranjos), is surrounded by palm, olive, cypress, and 98 orange trees planted by Abd al-Rahman I in the 10th century. It was originally designed for gatherings and washing rituals and has beautiful fountains. As one of Europe's oldest gardens, it's the perfect place to unwind!

Córdoba Mosque tours

Mihrab

One of the mosque-cathedral's most beautiful attractions, the Mihrab, marks the wall facing Mecca. It features a stunning horseshoe arch, Byzantine-inspired mosaics, and Quranic inscriptions. Decorated with plants, marble, plaster, ceramics, and paint, this small octagonal room topped with a dome is a true reflection of Islamic art and architecture.

Know More
Córdoba mosque tours

Prayer Hall

The Prayer Hall is an important stop on the Cordoba Mosque tour. It features 856 columns made from granite, marble, jasper, onyx, and porphyry, repurposed from a Roman temple! It is known for its beautiful symmetrical double arches. It also has horseshoe and semi-circular arches made of stone and red brick that are equally beautiful. The hall was previously used for teaching, Sharia law cases, special Friday prayers, and more.

Visitor tips 

  • Consider the Climate: Cordoba can get very hot, especially from June to August. Wear a hat, sunscreen, and light clothing, and try to stay in shaded areas when possible.
  • Visit Early or Late in the Day: To avoid the crowds, consider visiting early in the morning or later in the evening. This can provide a more peaceful and intimate experience.
  • Plan for Additional Time: Many visitors suggest allocating more time than you initially think you'll need. There's so much to see and appreciate within the Mosque-Cathedral, and rushing through it won't do it justice.
  • Engage with Locals: Even though your tour guide will tell you fascinating stories about the history of the mosque and answer all the questions you may have, don’t miss the chance to  to interact with locals and staff members at the Mosque-Cathedral. They may offer valuable insights, recommendations, or anecdotes!
