Cordoba - Route of the Fernandine Churches

Posted by (Massachusetts ) on

I’ve looked at the official website and done a search here but havn’t managed to figure it out - hence this post.

Did anyone see these churches? If you did, can you answer the following:

  1. Did you do it on the same day as you saw the Mezquita? The official website says these churches are included in the ticket for the Mezquita. But that’s a lot for a day. We would ideally like to spend a separate day walking the neighborhoods and seeing some of these churches
  2. Which ones were your fav, which ones can we give a miss (10 churches even in a whole day would be too much)
  3. Does the order matter - do we have to see Mezquita first before we see the churches?

We have full 3 days in Cordoba…can you suggest other things to see apart from Mezquita, these churches, old town, Roman bridge etc

Thanks very much

Seems like an interesting walk. That’s more churches than we tend to visit on a 3 week trip. After seeing a few churches one tends not to appreciate them and they begin to look the same.

Not planning to see all of them…but popping in to two/three churches and checking out the neighborhood, eat somewhere a little removed from busy tourist area.

If churches in Spain are anything in Italy, one can get a quiet space, calming, with wonderful art. While we are not religious, we do appreciate religious art and find that it’s best viewed in church settings vs large galleries.

Hope to find out the ticketing rules so we can plan accordingly.

In Cordoba the Patios in the San Basilio area, Palacio de Viana, Alcazar de los Reyes Cristianos are all worth seeing.
