Cordoba Patios, Heritage courtyards in Córdoba, Spain
The Cordoba Patios feature stone-paved internal spaces adorned with walls covered in colorful geraniums, jasmine vines, and orange trees.
The architectural design of these courtyards originated during Roman times and evolved through Muslim influence after 711, emphasizing interior spaces over exterior facades.
Local residents participate in an annual competition during May, decorating their courtyards with traditional ceramic pots, flowers, and vintage household items.
Visitors can explore twelve distinct courtyards at the Viana Palace throughout the year, while private patios open their doors during the May festival.
The courtyards maintain natural temperature control through water features and plant placement, creating an effective cooling system in the Mediterranean climate.

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.
