Cabra

Cabra is a municipality in Córdoba Province in the heart of Andalusia, spread across a large territory between two mountain ranges. The town sits on a hill and combines modern residential areas with older streets that wind around the historic center.

A settlement named Licabrum existed here in Roman times and experienced conflicts with Roman rule during the third century before Christ. Later, Moorish influences shaped the town before it became part of the Castilian kingdom during the Christian reconquest.

The Church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción stands on the foundations of a former mosque, representing the architectural evolution through different periods.

The municipality is accessible by roads connecting it to Córdoba and other towns in Andalusia, with several bus services making it easier to reach. Visitors can explore the older streets on foot, while the surrounding countryside is best discovered by car.

A cave near the town appears in several literary works and attracts visitors interested in geology. The area sits about fifteen hundred feet (450 meters) above sea level and offers wide views over the Andalusian countryside.
