We will climb up to the top of La Giralda, the bell tower of a cathedral, from where you may enjoy the best views over the city. Both sites are listed as World Heritage by UNESCO.

In the afternoon we will head to Cordoba that used to be the most populated city in Europe in the 10th century, it was not only the intellectual center of Europe but also an example of how Muslims, Christians and Jews lived in peace.

Its incredible hall has 856 columns of jasper, onyx, marble, and granite, and was made from pieces of the Roman temple which had occupied the site previously, as well as other destroyed Roman buildings. After visiting A Mosque let´s roam a bit the streets of Jewish Quarter that is recognised as the second most known site of Córdoba and a World Heritage Site by UNESCO since 1994. The Juderia de Cordoba is a part of the historic center of city which tells the story how the city lived a splendid period when three neighbourhoods Christian, Jewish and Muslim with their corresponding religions coexisted peacefully, offering the world an example of tolerance and intelligent civilization. Three babel languages had coexisted and everyone prayed in harmony and in their own languages to their god. Walking through the Jewish Quarter we will come across the Synagogue (14th century) and a magnificent bronze statue dedicated to Maimonides, the great Jewish philosopher and physician who lived in Cordoba.
