City Walk in Cordoba - Spain 4K Travel Channel
Our Cordoba city walk starts at the Plaza de las Tendillas with its glamorous architecture of the last century. Here is the business district of Cordoba. We walk south via Calle Jesus Maria, Calle Angel de Saavedra, Calle Blanco Belmonte and Calle Conde y Luque up to the Mezquita. It is well known that the Moors were masters of artificial irrigation, but in the garden of the Mezquita you can very well take a closer look at the filigree canal systems. The plants only get as much water as they need, a challenge at the hot summer temperatures.
We circumnavigate the Mezquita in order to get a feeling for the external dimensions of this magnificent building.
Through the narrow lanes of the Jewish quarter, the Judería, we reach the Puerta de la Luna, the southern gate. In the cool courtyard of the gate is a nice restaurant where we enjoy a cool drink.
In front of the gate is a portrait of Abu al Walid Muhammad ibn Rushd Averroes, one of the most important Arab philosophers. Abu Yaqub Yusuf I, the 2nd Caliph of the Almohad, commissioned him to reorder and comment the works of Aristotle. He was an advocate of the pure logic and fell in disgrace, because his view caused a conflict with the Islamic orthodox forces, the Caliph needed as a supporter for a campaign. He was banished and his works were burned. However already 2 or 3 years later, the Caliph brought him as a doctor again to his court in Marrakesh, where he stayed until his death. The Islamic orthodoxy categorically refuse his works to this day.
Along the Calle Cairuan, that runs along the old city walls, we go to the Puerta de Almodóvar. It is an impressive road, where water basins ensure coolness. On one side the street is flanked by the crenellated ramparts and the other side by traditional houses with pretty floral balconies.
The Puerta de Almodóvar is the last preserved town gate of the Arabic Age. It was restored in the 14th century.
In front we see a statue of Lucio Anneo Seneca the Younger of Cordoba. Known as philosopher, dramatist, naturalist, politician and as a stoic, he was one of the richest men in Rome, although he preached restraint in his philosophical writings. Yet his works are the most read in Rome. As an educator and advisor of Emperor Nero, he tried to reduce its licentious acts.

Wir beginnen unseren Stadtspaziergang in Cordoba an der Plaza de las Tendillas mit der glamourösen Architektur des letzten Jahrhunderts. Hier ist das Geschäftszentrum von Cordoba.
In Richtung Süden gehen wir über die Calle Jesus Maria, die Calle Angel de Saavedra, die Calle Blanco Belmonte und die Calle Conde y Luque zur Mezquita. Dass die Mauren Meister der künstlichen Bewässerung waren ist hinlänglich bekannt, doch im Garten der Mezquita kann man noch sehr gut das filigrane Kanalsystem begutachten. Die Pflanzen erhielten nur so viel Wasser, wie sie auch benötigten, eine Herausforderung bei den heißen Temperaturen im Sommer.
Wir umrunden die Mezquita um ein Gefühl für die äußeren Abmessungen dieses grandiosen Gebäudes zu bekommen.
Durch die engen Gassen des jüdischen Viertels, die Judería, erreichen wir die Puerta de la Luna. Im kühlen Innenhof der Toranlage ist ein hübsches Restaurant, in dem wir uns ein kühles Getränk gönnen.
Vor dem Tor steht ein Bildnis von Abu al Walid Muhammad ibn Rushd Averroes, einem der bedeutendsten arabischen Philosophen. Von Abu Yaqub Yusuf I, dem 2. Kalifen der Almohaden erhielt er den Auftrag die Werke von Aristoteles neu zu ordnen und zu kommentieren. Er war ein Verfechter der reinen Logik und fiel in Ungnade, da er mit seiner Ansicht in Konflikt mit den islamischen orthodoxen Kräften geriet, die der Kalif als Unterstützer für einen Feldzug benötigte. Er wurde verbannt und seine Werke verbrannt. Jedoch schon 2 oder 3 Jahre später holte ihn der Kalif als Arzt wieder an seinen Hof in Marrakesch, wo er auch verstarb. Die islamische Orthodoxie lehnt seine Werke bis heute kategorisch ab.
Entlang der Calle Cairuan, die entlang der alten Stadtmauer verläuft, gehen wir zur Puerta de Almodóvar. Es ist eine beeindruckende Straße, in der Wasserbecken für Kühle sorgen. Die Straße ist auf der einen Seite flankiert von der zinnenbewehrten Stadtmauer und auf der anderen Seite von traditionellen Häusern mit hübschen Blumenbalkonen.
Die Puerte de Almodóvar ist das letzte erhaltenen Stadttor aus arabischer Zeit. Im 14. Jahrhundert wurde es restauriert.
Davor finden wir eine Statue von Lucio Anneo Seneca der Jüngere von Cordoba. Bekannt als Philosoph, Dramatiker, Naturforscher, Politiker und als Stoiker gehörte er zu den reichsten Männern Roms, obwohl er in seine philosophischen Schriften Zurückhaltung predigte. Dennoch zählen seine Werke zu den meist gelesenen in Rom. Als Erzieher und Berater von Kaiser Nero versuchte er dessen ausschweifende Taten zu reduzieren.

Córdoba- Andalusia-Spain:
Córdoba in English, is a city in Andalusia, southern Spain, and the capital of the province of Córdoba. It was a Roman settlement, taken over by the Visigoths, followed by the Muslim conquests in the eighth century and later becoming an imperial city under the Caliphate of Córdoba. The city served as the capital in exile of the Umayyad Caliphate and the capital of the Islamic Spain, the Almohad and various other emirates. During these Muslim periods, Córdoba was transformed into a world leading center of education and learning, producing notable figures such as Averroes, Ibn Hazm, and Al-Zahrawi, and by the 10th century it had grown to be the largest city in western Europe. It was conquered by the Kingdom of Castile through the Christian Reconquista in 1236.
Today, Córdoba is still home to many notable pieces of Moorish architecture such as The Mezquita, which was named as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984 and is now a Cathedral. The UNESCO status has since been expanded to encompass the whole historic centre of Córdoba. Much of this architecture, such as the Alcázar and the Roman bridge has been reworked or reconstructed by the city's successive inhabitants.
Córdoba has the highest summer temperatures in Spain and Europe, with average high temperatures around 37 °C (99 °F) in July and August.
Great Mosque of Córdoba:
From 784- 786 AD, Abd al-Rahman I built the Mezquita, or Great Mosque, of Córdoba, in the Umayyad style of architecture with variations inspired by indigenous Roman and Christian Visigothic structures. Later caliphs extended the mosque with more domed bays, arches, intricate mosaics and a minaret, making it one of the four wonders of the medieval Islamic world. After the Christian reconquest of Andalucía, a cathedral was built in the heart of the mosque, however much of the original structure remains. It can be found in the Historic Centre of Córdoba, a recognized World Heritage Site.

A Walk Through the City of Cordoba, Spain
Córdoba also called Cordova in English, is a city in Andalusia, southern Spain, and the capital of the province of Córdoba. It was conquered by Muslim armies in the eighth century, and then became the capital of the Islamic Emirate and then Caliphate of Córdoba, including most of the Iberian Peninsula.
Caliph Al Hakam II opened many libraries in addition to the many medical schools and universities which existed at the time, making Córdoba a centre for education. During these centuries, Córdoba became a society ruled by Muslims, in which all other groups had a second-class status. It returned to Christian rule in 1236, during the Reconquista. Today it is a moderately sized modern city; its population in 2011 was about 330,000. The historic centre was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Córdoba has the warmest summer high temperatures in Spain and Europe with average high temperatures around (99 °F) in July and similar heat in August.

Córdoba Travel Guide
Travel video about destination Córdoba in Spain.
Cordoba was once the most important metropolis of the Caliphate and today is a city of harmony and contrast. It is a city in which the history of the Caliphs, Romans, Jews and Christians is still very much alive and was the centre of the Arab realm of Al-Andalus that reached its peak in around 1000 A.D.The Ponte Romana extends across the Gudalquivir and leads to the old town. With its sixteen arches the Roman bridge that spans across the river is one of the city’s main landmarks. The city’s most important building is the Mezquita Catedral in the centre of the old town. It is undoubtedly the most splendid mosque of Moorish Islamic origin on the Iberian Peninsula. Construction of the main mosque began in 785 A.D. during the rule of Abd-Ar-Rahman The First. The world’s third largest mosque was built on the site of a West Gothic Christian church that was built on the remains of a Roman temple. The Plaza Santa Marina dates back to the 17th century and was once used as a bull-fighting arena and also as a theatrical stage. Today it is frequently used as a marketplace. The striking monument of the famous Spanish toreador, Manolete, who was killed during a bullfight inside the arena, occupies a large section of the square. Mighty walls surround the Medina. Some of its old gates have survived such as the Puerta De Almodovar that leads into the Jewish quarter. Once known as a wealthy city, Cordoba was considered to be a worthy prize and was thus well protected and fortified. A combination of the Arabic, Jewish and Christian worlds, Cordoba is most deservedly the Pearl of Andalusia!

Cordoba Spain...1000 Years Ago the Largest City in the World | 80+ Countries w/3 Kids
Welcome to Cordoba Spain!
Join us as we tour this lovely city. One thing I didn't know is that back in 935, Cordoba was considered to be the world’s largest city in the world.
Throughout the history, this town was one of the rare spots of peaceful coexistence of three different cultures: Christians, Jews, and Muslims.
To pay respect to such love and tolerance visiting two of Cordoba’s most significant monuments – the mesmerizing Mezquita, where Islam and Christianity made peace and the extravagant Sinagoga is a must!
The bridge that we spent so much time on is in the show: The Game of Thrones. Now we really need to watch it!

Cordoba, Spain - Cordoba Patio Festival tribute sculpture & 1st tour on agenda
We began our 1st tour of the annual Cordoba Patio Festival, in Cordoba, Spain, by visiting the tribute sculpture by local artist José Manuel Belmonte. It was installed on the Puerta del Rincón.
The first tour was an unusual one compared to most of the many others we saw: I believe it was a prime example of the housing referred to as Solariega Houses where a housing unit is comprised of several smaller houses united as one, similar to bungalow-type of housing. Most other places we toured consisted of one large home, it seemed.
