Casa-Museo del Guadamecí Omeya. Córdoba, España.
The Casa-Museo del Guadamecí is a craft museum in Córdoba dedicated to the making of embossed and decorated leather. The house displays workshops, materials, and finished pieces of this traditional craft that has defined the city.
The leather craft shown here began during Islamic rule in Córdoba and became world-famous. The tradition has endured across centuries and continues today in this region.
The house keeps alive the leather-working techniques that have been practiced in Córdoba for centuries. Visitors can watch artisans still today embossing and dyeing leather patterns the traditional way.
The place sits in the old town and is reachable on foot while exploring the local streets. It is helpful to arrive in the early hours to see the workshop without crowds.
Guadamecí leather was once used for royal clothing and armor and was so prized that the name became the craft itself. Today visitors can watch the same techniques applied that once served rulers.
