Located in the historical quarter of Cordoba where there are over 14,000 dwellings, the patios or courtyards of Cordoba find their origins in Roman times. Initially used to provide relief and shelter from the heat, patios gradually evolved into an oasis full of bright flowers, tropical plants, elegant water features, comfortable furniture, and eclectic decoration. The patio houses represent a unique way of life and are a mainstay for one of the popular festivals celebrated here - Fiesta of the Patios of Cordoba. Learn all about this festival as you tour the Alcazar Viejo district. Visit the interiors of well-preserved houses and mingle with their owners who will relay their love and admiration for maintaining a garden and a blooming culture.
