The current building, constructed on the site of an ancient Visigothic and later Moorish fortress, was erected during the reign of Alfonso XI of Castile in the 14th century. Its defensive architecture is characterized by massive walls built of ashlar blocks, forming an almost rectangular structure. It is flanked by 4 corner towers: the Tour des Lions, the Tour de l&#8217;Hommage, the Tour de l&#8217;Inquisition and the Tour des Colombes.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Travel\/Andalucia\/3d-Cordoba-Alcazar\/i-3JNnrBF\/2\/NXK3pQbbFkLwxJ7F58LpQNK4nbw6j6XzkQ7FHBB5T\/L\/Alcazar_Cordoba_Andalucia_Spain-3097-L.jpg\" alt=\"Alcazar des Rois Chr&#xE9;tiens - Thousand-year-old walls\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p>These thick walls protected the fortress and its occupants. Their strategic position, on the banks of the Guadalquivir, enabled them to control river access to the city. Note the architectural style, combining Gothic and Mudejar elements, reflecting the history of Cordoba after the Reconquista.<br\/>Over the centuries, the Alcazar has served a variety of functions: royal residence, seat of the Spanish Inquisition, military prison. We were amazed to learn that its walls have witnessed major historical events, such as the meeting between Christopher Columbus and the Catholic Monarchs around 1486.<\/p>\n\n<p>Today, the Alcazar offers a fascinating glimpse into its rich multicultural past, where Roman and Visigoth remains stand side by side with Moorish and Christian architectural elements. Its thousand-year-old walls tell the complex story of Cordoba, a crossroads of civilizations that have each left their unique mark on this emblematic monument.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Travel\/Andalucia\/3d-Cordoba-Alcazar\/i-wQkk6fx\/2\/NBWtbnDK4ZgkBLNk2kJSqvMmrNnr2HJC4xzrxfkH6\/L\/Alcazar_Cordoba_Andalucia_Spain-3032-L.jpg\" alt=\"Alcazar des Rois Chr&#xE9;tiens - Thousand-year-old walls\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">History and treasures of the Inquisition Tower<\/h3>\n\n<p>We enjoyed visiting and learning about the history of the Tower of the Inquisition, one of the 4 main towers of the Alcazar of Cordoba. Built in the 14th century, it is an important witness to the complex history of this monument. Did you know that it takes its name from the Spanish Inquisition of Cordoba, which took place in 1478 and during which it served as a siege?<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Travel\/Andalucia\/3d-Cordoba-Alcazar\/i-9dBjSH8\/2\/LHPdpKfjWHH4JtVSQsSh8ZxKcK62gt9R6vsB8SQLB\/L\/Alcazar_Cordoba_Andalucia_Spain-3061-L.jpg\" alt=\"Alcazar des Rois Chr&#xE9;tiens - Inquisition Tower\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p>Today, the Tower of the Inquisition houses some remarkable architectural and artistic features that bear witness to the Alcazar&#8217;s different eras. One of the highlights was a Roman sarcophagus, built in white marble and dating from the 3rd century. It features interesting details, such as an open door in the center representing Hades (the abode of the dead in Greek mythology). You can also see Roman mosaics, notably those found under the Plaza de la Corredera.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Travel\/Andalucia\/3d-Cordoba-Alcazar\/i-3vF8hdN\/2\/MXhq7Q2CFqM4Gj8hFt4Szq3tmWVSXCzRTXdxSS6gv\/L\/Alcazar_Cordoba_Andalucia_Spain-3036-L.jpg\" alt=\"Alcazar des Rois Chr&#xE9;tiens - Inquisition Tower\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">3rd-century Roman sarcophagus<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The 3 other tours: Leones, Homenaje and Colombes<\/h3>\n\n<p>We enjoyed exploring the other tours, each of which offers a unique experience. The Tower of the Lions (Torre de los Leones) is considered the oldest part of the fortified complex. It was our favorite for its exceptional view of Cordoba, the gardens and the archaeological remains of the Court of Women.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Travel\/Andalucia\/3d-Cordoba-Alcazar\/i-wQkk6fx\/2\/NBWtbnDK4ZgkBLNk2kJSqvMmrNnr2HJC4xzrxfkH6\/L\/Alcazar_Cordoba_Andalucia_Spain-3032-L.jpg\" alt=\"Alcazar des Rois Chr&#xE9;tiens - The three towers\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p>The Tower of Homage (Torre del Homenaje), also known as the Keep Tower, can be reached via a narrow passage from the Lions Tower. From here you can enjoy an interesting view of the Mezquita Catedral. Its distinctive silhouette elegantly dominates the horizon. We recommend that you take the time to observe the architectural details of these towers, which bear witness to the skills of medieval builders.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Travel\/Andalucia\/3d-Cordoba-Alcazar\/i-bsVFp8T\/2\/LvGCJHHqNkzgR4NJ2MHDrSw44r2NptjZxgDvNS7d6\/L\/Alcazar_Cordoba_Andalucia_Spain-3022-L.jpg\" alt=\"Alcazar des Rois Chr&#xE9;tiens - The three towers\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p>Last but not least, the Tower of the Doves (Torre de las Palomas) has a very special history. Did you know that it&#8217;s actually a &#8220;false tower&#8221;? We learned that it was destroyed in the mid-19th century and rebuilt in the second half of the 20th century, with the aim of restoring the Alcazar to its original appearance.<\/p>\n\n<p>We enjoyed discovering these towers and their history. They helped us to appreciate the history and evolution of the Alcazar of Cordoba, while also offering some great views.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Travel\/Andalucia\/3d-Cordoba-Alcazar\/i-KSnpzNG\/2\/NdJzpVjgqN3Q9c3vn8G279GKKvVLRnX6JfGzpnRcr\/L\/Alcazar_Cordoba_Andalucia_Spain-3033-L.jpg\" alt=\"Alcazar des Rois Chr&#xE9;tiens - The three towers\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Moorish gardens of the Alc\u00e1zar de los Reyes Cristianos<\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">History and functions of Moorish gardens<\/h3>\n\n<p>The gardens you&#8217;ll admire during your visit date mainly from the 18th and 19th centuries, but are directly inspired by Moorish tradition. We were charmed by the characteristic layout, with its clipped box hedges, citrus groves and ingenious water features. As you stroll down the aisles, you&#8217;ll discover statues commemorating historical figures such as Christopher Columbus and the Catholic Monarchs. Did you know that these gardens hosted Cordoba&#8217;s first bullfight in 1492? It was organized in honor of Prince Don Juan. The peaceful atmosphere that prevails today contrasts with the bustle that must have reigned during these royal events.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Travel\/Andalucia\/3d-Cordoba-Alcazar\/i-nxxrWFM\/2\/Nbf7vxTCXFP9KjQJPBXKfNfcVvXTpFbWqQ4RfFXDg\/L\/Alcazar_Cordoba_Andalucia_Spain-1492-L.jpg\" alt=\"Alcazar des Rois Chr&#xE9;tiens - Moorish gardens\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p>During your stroll, you&#8217;re sure to appreciate the freshness provided by the various fountains and pools, so let&#8217;s talk about them in more detail! We were amazed to learn that the complex hydraulic system that has fed the Alcazar since Roman times is still in place today! Water is omnipresent in these gardens, and some of it still comes from an ancient Roman aqueduct. The canals and fountains that dot the gardens perpetuate a thousand-year-old tradition of hydraulic mastery, initiated by the Romans and perfected by Moorish architects, before being adapted to the tastes of subsequent eras.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Travel\/Andalucia\/3d-Cordoba-Alcazar\/i-29rB9QG\/2\/MkKSPxGSnNM43v5hNcLLVr3nK22dXxsfsqfZhCvx9\/L\/Alcazar_Cordoba_Andalucia_Spain-1495-L.jpg\" alt=\"Alcazar des Rois Chr&#xE9;tiens - Moorish gardens\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Morisco patio, almost unchanged since the 14th century<\/h3>\n\n<p>The Patio Morisco, also known as the Moorish Courtyard, is a remarkable feature of Cordoba&#8217;s 14th-century Alcazar. This patio is an excellent example of Moorish architecture in Christian Andalucia, influenced by the Almoravid style.<br\/>Observe its characteristic rectangular courtyard and note the 4 paths forming a central cross that leads to a fountain.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Travel\/Andalucia\/3d-Cordoba-Alcazar\/i-WXRSV5j\/2\/MPfdDcC325jF59H8Z7rHnRg4hGfwzkmv3Qr9KTK2T\/L\/Alcazar_Cordoba_Andalucia_Spain-3021-L.jpg\" alt=\"Alcazar des Rois Chr&#xE9;tiens - Patio Mud&#xE9;jar\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p>We loved its Persian-inspired gardens, home to a variety of fruit trees such as orange, lemon, pomegranate and laurel.<br\/>We learned that although the Alcazar has undergone modifications over the centuries, most notably in the 19th century when it was converted into a prison, the Patio Morisco has retained much of its original character. Visiting it will give you an authentic insight into the architecture and landscape design of medieval Andalucia.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Travel\/Andalucia\/3d-Cordoba-Alcazar\/i-4xk7mTp\/2\/MHnTg9w6CrmQMMv47mNwmwX4QTrDXrNkXcGKjrLsR\/L\/Alcazar_Cordoba_Andalucia_Spain-1487-L.jpg\" alt=\"Alcazar des Rois Chr&#xE9;tiens - Patio Mud&#xE9;jar\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Paseo de los Reyes, the Royal Promenade of Cordoba&#8217;s Alcazar<\/h3>\n\n<p>The Paseo de los Reyes, or Kings&#8217; Promenade, particularly impressed us, with its majestic avenue lined with cylindrical cypress trees. This royal promenade, divided into two parallel paths separated by elegant, narrow basins that create a striking perspective effect, is one of the most remarkable features of Cordoba&#8217;s Alcazar gardens!<\/p>\n\n<p>What makes this place even more remarkable are the sculptures that line it. You&#8217;ll discover statues of the kings who helped build the Alcazar, as well as a particularly significant sculpted group depicting Christopher Columbus alongside Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand. This work commemorates their first historic meeting, which took place in the very precincts of the Alcazar.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Travel\/Andalucia\/3d-Cordoba-Alcazar\/i-RBkKzc8\/2\/MNhGkZd7bHj4csNSDbBSZmsSBTF4433wpT9Shs2vp\/L\/Alcazar_Cordoba_Andalucia_Spain-3060-L.jpg\" alt=\"Paseo de los Reyes, the Royal Promenade of Cordoba's Alcazar\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p>Along this walk, you&#8217;ll find several statues representing important historical figures linked to the history of the Alcazar. In particular, the effigies of the kings who played a significant role in the construction and history of the Alcazar. We also noticed the statues of Christopher Columbus, Isabella of Castile and Ferdinand of Aragon. Did you know that their &#8220;presence&#8221; commemorates an important historical event? The meeting between Columbus and the Catholic Monarchs in the Alcazar in 1486! This meeting was crucial to the organization of Columbus&#8217;s first voyage to the Americas.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Travel\/Andalucia\/3d-Cordoba-Alcazar\/i-NkD6n5R\/2\/KbGPh3QZPXZj8kw2tMJLmdt2xTLsThxMRVGrRjqp9\/L\/Alcazar_Cordoba_Andalucia_Spain-3026-L.jpghttps:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Travel\/Andalucia\/3d-Cordoba-Alcazar\/i-kPJQnVF\/2\/NCG6PZqvjTJrqGCp9F8rfqCv3W3hHd8bzB62Qq6Wx\/L\/Alcazar_Cordoba_Andalucia_Spain-3081-L.jpg\" alt=\"Alcazar of the Christian Kings - Paseo de los Reyes\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p>A visit to the Paseo de los Reyes, with its architectural and sculptural features, will give you a true sense of the setting in which the important figures of the time lived.

Alfonso X the Wise initiated its restoration, which continued under the reign of Alfonso XI. Amirs Abd al-Rahman I and his successors also carried out work to adapt the site to Muslim customs.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Travel\/Andalucia\/3d-Cordoba-Alcazar\/i-KJH5Vxs\/2\/KWKrNsPwF7ZFcqCfcd3FtFMTq7FvP4dc8TcG5SZSN\/L\/Alcazar_Cordoba_Andalucia_Spain-3028-L.jpg\" alt=\"Alcazar Cordoba view from above\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who lived in Cordoba&#8217;s Alcazar?<\/h3>\n\n<p>Over the centuries, it has been occupied by a succession of different occupants: the Visigoths with their initial fortress, the Umayyads who rebuilt the Caliphal Alcazar, Abd al-Rahman I who used it as a palace after establishing the Emirate of Cordoba, the Moors who enlarged it with baths and gardens, and finally the Catholic Monarchs who made it their principal residence after the Christian conquest in 1236.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Travel\/Andalucia\/3d-Cordoba-Alcazar\/i-9WPc565\/2\/MmgrRC8nZch46QS8Djszhb3p5QqX9KVCGGVvSCGBm\/L\/Alcazar_Cordoba_Andalucia_Spain-3082-L.jpg\" alt=\"Alcazar Cordoba statues\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does Alcazar mean?<\/h3>\n\n<p>The word &#8220;Alcazar&#8221; comes from the Arabic &#8220;al-qasr&#8221; meaning &#8220;palace&#8221; or &#8220;fortress&#8221;. This is a term commonly used in Hispano-Moorish architecture to designate palace-fortresses built during the Al-Andalus period or inspired by it.
