Former residence of the Marquise of Viana, this is an impressive museum featuring furniture, tapestries, porcelain, tiles, paintings, leatherwork, muskets, a 7000-volume library and extensive gardens spread out over 14 patios.
Plaza del Cristo de los Faroles
The most impressive square, the best time to go there is the sunset or night (see picture). A Christ in the Cross statue adorned with lot of old lanterns, candles and flowers in a very quiet atmosphere. While it is outside the old city - it's really not far.
Roman Temple of Cordoba
5-min walk from Cordoba's main square is the Templo Romano, the ruins of Roman temple dating back to the 1st century CE during the reign of the Emperor Domitian (81-96 CE). The ruins are badly degraded and the columns have been reconstructed, but at night the place is nicely lit up. A family of feral cats at the site attracts as much attention as the ruins themselves. The Templo Romano, Puente Romano and fragments at the Archaeological Museum are all that remain of Cordoba's Roman past. Free.
Archaeological Museum of Cordoba
Small museum tucked away in a plaza in the old city, it showcases artefacts from Cordoba's prehistory, through its Roman and Islamic eras to Medieval times. Most impressive of all, the museum is built over the ruins of Cordoba's old Roman amphitheatre, and allows visitors to walk through the actual ruins.
World heritage listed ruins of the capital of the Western Caliphate, built beginning in 940. Huge archeological interest, a beautiful and very special walk.
