Jardines del Alcázar de los Reyes Cristianos

The iconic Jardines del Alcázar de los Reyes Cristianos in Córdoba, Spain, is a beautiful oasis of tranquility right in the city center. The Moorish walls of the 11th centuries palace are surrounded by lush gardens, ponds and gazebos. The gardens were greatly improved by the rulers of the Christian kingdom who, due to the influence of the Islamic gardens, confused the two styles and built both Renaissance galleries, neoclassical pavilions and exotic plants. The architecture and gardens of Jardines del Alcázar offer a lovely retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city. Whether you're looking for a place for leisurely stroll or a quiet place to sit and enjoy the views, Jardines del Alcázar has something for everyone. There are benches and chairs located throughout the gardens, making it a great spot for picnics and relaxing conversations. In addition, the gardens are home to a gentle stream that flows through the centre, creating a striking image of Spanish history and culture.
