Córdoba is the capital of the province to which it gives its name. It is located at the foot of Sierra Morena and is caressed in its limits by the Guadalquivir river. Officially founded in the year 169 a.C. by the Roman soldier Claudio Marcelo, The long history of Córdoba is marked by having been the capital of the Caliphate of al-Andalus during the 10th century. This makes the city the depository of one of the best samples of Andalusian caliphate art. Nevertheless, Córdoba also hides beautiful Christian churches built on old mosques.
