Luxurious and historic, this central Córdoba neighbourhood offers unlimited opportunities to view the many varied styles of beautiful Andalusian architecture.

For centuries, Córdoba’s famous families have been building their luxurious residences in San Miguel-Capuchinos. Over time, the neighborhood developed palaces, churches and monasteries demonstrating the varied influences that have swept through the city. Start in the Church of San Miguel, a 13th-century church with medieval Gothic architecture.

Construct a walking tour of the religious architecture of the neighborhood. Plaza de Capuchinos, one of Córdoba’s most famous squares, has simplicity offset by the famous crucifixion statue of Cristo de Los Faroles or Christ with Lanterns. Visit the Franciscan brotherhood of the Hermandad de la Paz y Esperanza, formed in 1940 and housed in a 17th-century convent. Look for the depiction of Mary weeping tears. Explore the nearby Convento de Capuchinas, a former convent that was housed in a 15th-century noble house.

Take a break out of the sun in the Plaza Cardenal Toledo, where shade and a splashing fountain provide relief from the heat. Continue on to the Casa del Bailío, part of a grand palace built by Ferdinand III soon after the Reconquista of Córdoba by Spanish forces. The Palacio de los Condes de Torres Cabrera was built by the noble family in the 17th century and features a rosy French façade.

At the other end of the architectural spectrum is the Palacio de Los Valdeflores, whose gray neoclassical style makes it one of the best examples of this neighborhood’s eclectic tastes.

San Miguel-Capuchinos is located in the Centro district in the middle of Córdoba. Walk here in 20 minutes from the main train station or take a bus. The closest major airport is in Málaga, a 90-minute train ride or 2-hour drive away. The very walkable district has limited parking, so leave your car and enjoy the sights of San Miguel-Capuchinos on foot.

In the historic San Miguel-Capuchinos district, end the day with modern art at Espacio Iniciarte in the Provincial Delegation of Culture.
