Priego de Córdoba

Located at 652 meters elevation, Priego de Córdoba contains narrow streets lined with noble houses, architectural monuments, and Baroque fountains throughout the town.

The settlement evolved from a Roman outpost to a Moorish stronghold before its final Christian conquest in 1341 by Alfonso XI of Castile.

The Barrio de la Villa neighborhood preserves Islamic-style lanes decorated with flower pots, religious symbols, and underground passages connecting to the castle.

The municipal territory spans 288 square kilometers and maintains a strong agricultural economy centered on olive oil production and textile manufacturing.

The town holds the title of City of Water due to its natural springs, while the numerous Baroque buildings earned it recognition as Jewel of the Baroque.
