Jardínes del Alcázar, Royal gardens at Alcázar fortress in Córdoba, Spain.
The gardens spread across three distinct terraces with large pools, cypress hedges, and geometrically arranged boxwood patterns surrounding central fountains.
Julius Caesar initiated the garden's creation by planting oriental plane trees, while Abderraman II constructed an aqueduct in 822 to supply water.
Statues of Isabella and Ferdinand commemorate their historic meeting with Christopher Columbus to discuss his expedition plans to reach India.
The gardens welcome visitors from Tuesday to Friday between 8:15 and 20:00, with modified hours during weekends and guided tours available.
Water flows through a network of stone fountains and basins, starting from mountain sources and cascading through multiple levels of garden terraces.

The historical monuments of Córdoba document architectural development from the 1st to the 20th century. The Mosque-Cathedral with its 856 columns forms the centerpiece of the religious heritage. The Alcázar de los Reyes Cristianos with its terraced gardens and the Roman bridge over the Guadalquivir River bear witness to the Roman and Moorish past. The archaeological site of Medina Azahara lies outside the city and displays the remains of the 10th-century palace city. Medieval churches and Renaissance palaces line the historic center. Traditional courtyards with fountains and flowers characterize the residential quarters of the old town.
