La Casa Andalusí, Medieval house museum in Jewish Quarter, Córdoba, Spain
La Casa Andalusí is a museum set in a medieval residential house in Córdoba's Jewish Quarter. The two-story building preserves traditional rooms with courtyards and fountains, along with exhibits from the Islamic period including old coins and craft items.
The building was constructed in the 12th century when Córdoba served as a center of learning and arts under the Caliphate rule. The house structure reflects the lifestyle of the wealthy population during this prosperous period.
The house displays craftsmanship techniques that were common during the Islamic period in Al-Andalus, such as papermaking and pottery production. Visitors can still see how these activities took place within the rooms today.
The museum sits on Calle Judíos next to the Synagogue, easy to reach on foot in the old town center. It helps to keep the multiple floor levels in mind as you move through the rooms and explore different sections.
The cellar holds original Roman mosaics that reveal an earlier home stood here in ancient times. This archaeological layer shows how many historical periods are stacked upon each other in this location.
