The Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba is one of the most important and peculiar monumental complexes in Spain and the West. It is an enormous Arab mosque to which false elements were added in Christian times, especially in the 16th century when the temple or Christian cathedral was built in a basically Plateresque style. The Mosque of Cordoba is not only the symbol of Al-Andalus, but a fundamental monument of the entire Islamic West and one of the most amazing in the world. It is the artistic reflection of the power of one of the most important political states of the West in the 9th and 10th centuries: the Emirate and Caliphate of Cordoba.

Medinat al-Zahara, the magnificent and mysterious city that Abd-al Rahman III ordered to be built at the foot of the Sierra Morena, eight kilometres from the capital, contains, even in its name, legendary stories. Popular tradition states that, self-proclaimed Abd al-Rahman III caliph in 929 AD, and after eight years of reign, decided to build a palace city in honor of his favorite, Azahara. However, recent studies provide strong evidence of the cause that prompted the caliph to found Medina Azahara. A renewed image of the newly created Independent Western Caliphate, strong and powerful, one of the largest medieval kingdoms in Europe, is accepted as the most likely origin of the new Medina.

The UNESCO World Heritage Committee has included the city of Medina Azahara on the list of protected cultural sites on 1 July 2018, in a debate in which there were no objections.

Next to the Town Hall of Cordoba is the only Roman temple for which archaeological evidence has come down to us. Dedicated to the imperial cult, it is surprisingly large. It was part of the Provincial Comitium together with a circus.

It was originally raised on a podium and had six free Corinthian columns at its entrance. In front of it stood the ara or altar. The reconstruction, carried out by the architect Felix Hernandez, has brought to Cordoba another sample of the greatness of this city at Roman age. Some of the original pieces of the temple are on display in the Archaeological Museum or in unusual and beautiful corners of the city, such as the fluted column in the Plaza de la Doblas.
