Córdoba, or Cordova, is a particularly well known tourist destination for British abroad, and benefits from excellent transport connections and inner city routes which makes driving here a pleasure. Situated in the province of Andalucia, Cordoba enjoys a mild and favourable climate all year round.
With its roots in the Middle Ages, Cordoba bears many reminders of its Islamic influences; this is seen predominantly in the architecture around the town. It is sometimes known as the cradle of civilisation and was conferred as a World Heritage site by UNESCO in the nineteen eighties. Some particular highlights for visitors include the Roman Temple and Mausoleum, and the many gardens that are easily found around the town such as the Garden of Victory and the Garden of the Rivas Duc. The ancient Synagogue building is also a very interesting place to visit and gives a great insight into the shifting cultures that Cordoba has been witness to over the centuries. |
